Hibernate version:

PostgreSQL 7.4.8

Hi there,

So far I am initializing hibernate using a configuration file where I specify all connection details and mapping documents.

In the need for creating a login screen (which will actually use the login information of the database), I'm trying to find out whether this is possible using Hibernate.
I'm looking for a way to actually being able to switch between user accounts during runtime. Note that only 1 user would be connected at the time so that clears away some of the issues.

Thanks in advance for ur input.

yes it is possible, please read this thread http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=946210
I hope that will explain what you need to do.
