Lots of fun w/ hibernate and JPA - getting table names

Sharon. · **Posted:** Thu Jul 26, 2007 2:11 am

Due to some changes in my requirement, I’ve had to add some pure SQL queries in my code.
It’s not that beautiful – yet, that’s something I’ve to do.

The problem is, that I need to know what my table names are –
(I have the class name, and I want to get the representing DB table name)
I know that in hibernate, I can use the ‘classConfiguration’,
But when using JPA, I can’t use it anymore…

So, how do I do that with JPA?
Thanks in advance,
Sharon.

Hi,

This might be possible by using the ClassMetadata from the SessionFactory, which can be obtained with the following call:

Code:

Map metadata = ((Session)entitymanager.getDelegate()).getSessionFactory().getAllClassMetadata();

I am not to sure which property you are searching for, but the key is the class name.

Cheers,

Andy
