Hi,

I would like to have two mapping files that use the same POJO:

<hibernate-mapping>
<class
name="Apple"
table="old_fruit"
>
....

and

<hibernate-mapping>
<class
name="Apple"
table="new_fruit"
>

The problem is that my HQL saves and queries act upon the object Apple and it seems it has no way of knowing which table to use--

How can I explicitly tell it which table to query from or save to?

Thanks, Jason

To my knowledge you can't. HQL queries on the POJO and only knows which table to access because of your mapping document. You would either have to change your mapping programatically, or what i would probably do is just extend my apple class ala...

public class oldApple extends Apple {
....
}

public class newApple extendsApple {
....
}

and make your calls on oldApple and newApple.
