Hello,

We'are developing a swing based client-server application with 220 mapped classes.
Evrithing works fine with hibernate ! :-)

The problem:

We have mapped already 120 classes, but the mapping and building (sessionfactory) time are around 15-20 seconds, and more in debugging mode, and will be around 30-40 seconds at then end of the project.

Is threre any way to speed up the mapping and buildsessionfactory time?

The serializaton dos not work, becauuse of Configuration isn't implements the Serializable interface, nor You can't completely serialize the SessionFactory object to file.

Thanks,
Aron

We are working on making the configuration serializable, to shorten the startup time. Will be in some upcoming release.

Did this ever happen?
