Can i have more than one hibernate-configuration file (hibernate.cfg.xml)

one each for subproject?

if yes, how they are managed and accessed?

i am using weblogic 8.1 and hibernate 3.1

Regards,
RCP

Hi,

you can explicitly load the configuration
using something like:

Code:

Configuration cfg1 = new Configuration();
cfg1.configure("file:hibernate1.cfg.xml");

Configuration cfg2 = new Configuration();
cfg2.configure("file:hibernate2.cfg.xml");

Note that the two cfgs do not know each other.

Now that we have the the two Configuration objects we could build separate SessionFactories from each of them and get connections to the two databases. But is it possible to use the same session factory to obtain connections to two different databases ?

Also is it possible to add tags corresponding to two databases in the same configuration file?

Yes, this is possible. You can use

Code:

sessionFactory.openSession(connection);

with you own connection. But you certainly loose all
features concerning the connection pool.

I dont think so.

yes, this is also possible, you have to write two session factories in one configuration file...

Code:

<hibernate-configuration>
   <session-factory>
           <!-- First -->
   </session-factory>

   <session-factory>
           <!-- Second -->
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
