I have a general question about Hibernate functionality using dom4j sessions.

This is how I understand it works (and have it working thus far):

I am able to take a populated database, and dump it to xml data sheets using dom4j elements.
I am able to update the dom4j elements returned from my dom4jsession queries and update the sheets with those changes (hibernate also updates the DB automatically under the covers).


This is what I need:

I am looking for a way to dump my database using the dom4j session into an xml format. (check :) )

I need to save this xml to a cd and move this to a different location.

This requires a way in hibernate to read these xml sheets into hibernate (I assume using dom4jsessions) and repopulate a blank db from them.

I have looked in a few hibernate books, as well as in the hibernate docs to no avail.

Does anyone know a way of doing this, or have a link I can check out? Please let me know if I need to clarify anything.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi,
