Hibernate version: hibernate-3.0beta1, hibernate-annotations-3.0alpha1

I am trying to programmatically configure the properties of my AnnotationConfiguration like the following.

AnnotationConfiguration ac = new AnnotationConfiguration();
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect");
p.put("hibernate.connection.driver_class", "com.inet.tds.TdsDriver");
p.put("hibernate.connection.url", "jdbc:inetdae7:...?database=...");
p.put("hibernate.connection.username", "...");
p.put("hibernate.connection.password", "...");
p.put("hibernate.show_sql", "true");
ac.setProperties(p);
ac.addAnnotatedClass(Item.class);
ac.addAnnotatedClass(Person.class);
ac.addAnnotatedClass(Reservation.class);
ac.addAnnotatedClass(User.class);
SessionFactory sf = ac.buildSessionFactory();

However, I'm receiving a stack trace like the following. It appears to not be setting the dialect property for some reason. Note, I tried code similar to the code listed above, except using Configuration instead and it works fine. Also, previously, I had problems getting it to work using a hibernate.cfg.xml file. The only way I can get it to work is with a hibernate.properties file. Has anyone else ran into this problem?

Full stack trace of any exception that occurs:

There is a bug in AnnotationConfiguration that currently force you to define the dialect into the hibernate.properties.
It's due to a fix port that was wrong.
See http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HB-1315
for more informations

I didl rollback the fix in CVS. Thanks for pointing this to me.

No problem. Thanks for the great work on implementing annotations and for being helpful in the forum. Much appreciated.
