How to obtain the Configuration object in J2EE application

Hi,
I need to get information about collections from mapping files.
Thus, I can make this with the following code:

Code:

//...
Configuration cfg = new Configuration().addClass(org.foo.beans.Pessoa.class);
//...
net.sf.hibernate.mapping.Collection col = c.getCollectionMapping("org.foo.beans.Pessoa.cursos");

However, this code only runs in a single standalone application.
How I can obtain the Configuration (or CollectionMappings) object in a J2EE environment?
The only object that I can access by JNDI is

Code:

net.sf.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl

and, from it, I can't navigate to Configuration object :-(

PS: The information that I need in mapping file is collectionTableName.

Sorry my bad english, this text was translated with babelfish.

Well you have to be bootstrapping the Hibernate SessionFactory somewhere, right? I mean it does not magically get bound when the server starts up. Where ever that bootstrapping code happens, simply store a reference to the Configuration used to generate the SessionFactory somewhere accessible for later access.

Ok, after looking documentation, I see that getCollectionMetadata returns the necessary information.

Thank's.
