Hello,
is it possible to use the Hibernate tools Console for Eclipse together with Spring? I need it because in my project we use some Spring's UserTypes that need to be initialized by Spring, as far as I understand it (e.g. rg.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.BlobByteArrayType).
I think I need to use Spring to set the environment up and create a LocalSessionFactoryBean that could pass an org.hibernate.SessionFactory to the Console - without it, using directly hibernate's SessionFactory, I run into problems like this (with a property of the type BlobByteArrayType):
---
org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.BlobByteArrayType, for columns: [org.hibernate.mapping.Column(DOCUMENT)]
---
Is it/will it be possible or do you think the problem is somewhere else?

Hibernate version:
3


Thanks,

those classes should be added to the classpath and it should work

i surely dont hope spring makes it that hard to use; so I'll just assume you havent put those classes on the classpath of the console configuration.
