I have a requirement to programmatically append attributes to class mapping in an .hbm.xml file. For this, I am experimenting with the Configuration class, which seems to have nice methods to add attributes to the mapping. But, I don't see a way to get the Xml Document back from a Configuration.

I could work with the DOM APIs, but it would have been nice to get it done thorugh hibernate.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Extend Configuration class.
