I have implemented Hib search in our project. This project needs to be deployed in different environment.. i.e. production, development, testing etc..

I want to store the index in <tomcat_dir>/webapps/<app_name>/WEB-INF/index. This tomcat_dir is different in different environments. I want that value of "hibernate.search.default.indexBase" key be initialized dynamically at runtime.

How can i achieve this ? is there any way to set the index base dir programmatically at run-time ? because in hibernate configuration file i have to provide a static value of the dir path.

Thanks,
Bhavin

Configuration conf = new Configuration().configure().setPropery(...,...).buildSessionFactory();

Any hints for doing this when using JPA? I'm injecting the EntityManager thru the @PersistenceContext annotation rather than using the sessionFactory. My deployment will be via ear file so editing the persistence.xml to point to a different path for the indexes is not an optimum solution. I would prefer to read the info from an external properties file and make the setting on the fly.
