You just don't use the session-factory "name" attribute, and use the datasource as usual:

Code:

<session-factory>
     <property name="connection.datasource">java:/MyDS</property>
      ...
      ...

</session-factory>

except unless i'm mistaken,

Code:

java:/MyDS

is a jndi url, and i don't have a jndi provider running.

You could use a custom connection provider to get/create the DataSource. Just set the following Hibernate property to whatever custom class you write:

hibernate.connection.provider_class

Excellent idea, very very very close.
But i also need to either (1) be able to obtain the actual instance of the connectionprovider/datastore taht hibernate uses, or (2) explicitly set an instnace of either, not the class. With JNDI, a specific instance placed into jndi would've been used.
Any ideas on how i can do either 1 or 2?

tnx.

Just write your connection provider in such a way as to provide this functionality. Not knowing anything about the rest of your app one option would be to provide some static method on the connection provider class that gets/sets the DataSource. Or another option would be to have the connection provider, in it's default constructor, pull the DataSource from some place that you have access to it. Maybe a DataSourceManager class?

tnx a lot.
