I am looking to see if there's a way that one can bind a Hibernate EntityManagerFactory to a JNDI tree in Weblogic server 9.2 MP1. In JBoss AS, it's quite easy as one can simply do:



I'd be thrilled to death to find out if there's a similar option available to Weblogic. Last time I worked with Hibernate and Weblogic, it under 8.1 and I had to programatically bind the Hibernate Session to JNDI.

Just FYI, we're using JBoss Seam and Spring 2 as well, so if there's an additional option that either one of these components can provide, I'm interested in that as well. Thanks.

Unfortunately no. but you can put the sessionFactory in the JNDI (session factory name, can't remember the property on top of my head).

Thank Emmanuel. Is this a limitation of Weblogic, or just something that hasn't yet been implemented in Hibernate Entity Manager as of yet? If it's the latter, is the team interested in any contributions to make this work?

It's more that it's unnecessary in a JavaEE 5 container as the spec addresses that. so this feature is more for old time containers and I haven't spend the energy for them.
