Hi folks,

Does Hibernate support the ability to change custom SQL statements or relationship mapping configuration at runtime without the need to restart "servers" or without concurrency issues?

If so, I'd be very greatful for links to examples on using the configuration API.

Many TIA & Kind regards,

I do not think there is a way to change the mapping data from your apps Configuration class. You can get the data out of it, but I do not think you can change it.

You can certainly reload the Configuration class during runtime and create a new SessionFactory. So you could potentially change the mapping files/create new ones then keep going.

I don't think your application will take kindly to new relationship mappings though, as the POJOs are built around the hbm.xmls and they must be similar.
