Hibernate version:
3.0

Is it possible to get the NAME of a table column using the NAME of the attribute in the class through the xml mapping.
for example:
you have this...

<many-to-one name="okresyId" entity-name="org.unss.is.dl.model.Okres" cascade="none" foreign-key="fk_okresy" column="okresy_id"/>

And I want get this "okresy_id" using this "okresyId"...
Thanks in advanced...

I realize you are asking about the xml mapping, but, since you are using hibernate3, if you use the annotations for mapping, instead of the xml, its a piece of cake to pull them out and get their values.

Well I know that through annotations it would be no problem,
but I need to know how to solve this concrete problem with using xml mapping.

You can either parse the XML yourself and look it up, or you can get the Hibernate metadata from the SessionFactory and look through those.
