Is it possible to change the default location of hibernate.cfg.xml? I mean by default hibernate looks for the cfg in the classpath or wherever the classloader is located. is it possible to configure to look some where else say "another location" so that when we call Configuration.configure() without parameter, hibernate will goes to "another location" to look for the hibernate.cfg.xml instead of the classloader path.


Thanks.

Sp why don't you just call one of the other configure methods that already allow you to do that?

The reason why i don't use the other configure is that I'm writing test classes. I need to use a test database therefore I need to use different cfg. The problem is, all my real code use the default hibernate configuration file, so If I need to make the test work with the test database I need to configure hibernate to get the default cfg from the location i want it to.
