Replacing the default EntityPersister

Hi folks

I'm wondering if it is possible to replace the default persiter class (EntityPersister) by a custom subclass I have created, in a way that would affect all the mappings (without having to put the persister parameter in every hbm.xml).

This would be very usefull because I will use this custom persister for all objects in my domain.

You can maybe manipulate the DOM tree before building the configuration.

OK. Thanks for the quick answer.

And, what about collections? Is it possible to replace collection persisters somehow?

same way

Sorry, I didn't get it.

What exactly do you mean by "DOM tree" in your post?

Thank you.

Do you mean I should put a "persister" parameter in a <set> tag (for instance) to specify my custom persister class for that collection? (which would probably be a subclass of net.sf.hibernate.collection.BasicCollectionPersister)

I'm asking this because I read another post (http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=557) that seems to tell the opposite.

Thank you again.

<!ATTLIST set persister CDATA #IMPLIED>

Um, why don't you just try it, instead of arguing with me

Yes, you are right!

It happens I was not using the latest version, and now (after updateting) I found this in the DTD.

Thank you very much for your attention. I use to read this forum very often and I'd like say you are very kind answering so many questions every day about a free product.
I'm also deeply sorry for this last stupid post. (I really mean it)

Hibernate has a huge legion of fans and users in Brazil! It is one of the most discussed subjects in many Java user groups and seminars.

Congratulations.
