Get table name from entity

I have done some searching and I haven't found anything on how to do this. I want to get the table name that an entity is associated with. I thought this would be a function on the ClassMetadata, but I found no such thing. Is this even possible? I wanted to avoid having to use static final variables for the table names.

you can get that out of the Configuration used to create the SessionFactory.

this one should help.

I found out how to do what i was wanting to do. I didnt end up needing the table names after all. Thanks for your help. Here is what I used:

Code:

      ClassMetadata itemMetaData = HibernateUtil.getClassMetaData( Item.class );
      ClassMetadata suppMetaData = HibernateUtil.getClassMetaData( Supplier.class );
      ClassMetadata vendMetaData = HibernateUtil.getClassMetaData( Vendor.class );
      
      String suppIdentifier = vendMetaData.getIdentifierPropertyName();
      String vendIdentifier = vendMetaData.getIdentifierPropertyName();
      String[] suppPropNames = suppMetaData.getPropertyNames();
      String[] itemPropNames = itemMetaData.getPropertyNames();
