Hibernate version: 3.1

Is there any way to reconfigure a SessionFactory after it has been created off a configuration? I have an issue where I am using a third party library that leverages hibernate, and I have a project which depends on this third party library, and my project also uses hibernate. If that were all, then no problem, I would just create my own hibernate.cfg.xml file and load my own hibernate mappings and create my own SessionFactory. The problem is that I need my hibernate mappings to interact with the third party library's mappings, so I'm faced with either having to intermingle my custom hibernate mappings with the third party library implementation (not desirable), or figuring out how to leverage the third party library hibernate implementation while maintaining a separate hibernate SessionFactory.

Any advice for how to properly handle this scenario?

Thanks,

Brad
