Hibernate version: 2.1.7c

Our application deploys Hibernate in a JMX MBean on JBoss and retrieves the SessionFactory using JNDI. Becuase of this the application does not have access the Configuration object.

Is there a way to get the Configuration object through the SessionFactory?

I need to have a way to look up the metadata in the hibernate files (*.hbm.xml) and also to programatically convert from the Hibernate table name to the actual database table name (and reverse).

I know that we could instanciate a Configuration object with the jboss-service.xml (MBean) descriptor or the hibernate.cfg.xml file but that information is not deployed with the application since we are using a MBean.

Suggestions?

Thank you,
David Wilson

Has no one else had this delima where the Hibernate service is deployed seperately and the end developers/programmers do not have access to the hibernate.cfg.xml file since it was seperately deployed as a MBean (jboss-service.xml)?

Hi, I'm having the same problem, I need to look into the metadata defined in the mapping XMLs, but the sessionFactory is an MBean..

Did you find a solution? thx!

No I have not found a solution nor has anyone told me of one.

I am surprised that no one else has ran into this delima.
:(

Perhaps it is time to put a requist this to be implemented?

I decided to include the mappings and the hibernate.properties file into the war.. then when the SessionFactory class gets called for a session, I create and store the configuration object (static), obviously without creating (again) the sessionFactory.

Looks not so clean, but it works :P
