I'm using the hibernate tools to reverse engineer several databases. Each database has it's own session factory name. I would like to make use of the generated DAOs, but can't because they all look up the session factory under the JNDI name "SessionFactory". Is there a way to specify the session factory name for the hbm2dao target?

not at the moment.

Hi,

I've posted a message to this hbm2dao thread recently.

I think it opens a solution to your problem, too: Simply extract the delivered daohome.ftl template from hibernate-tools.jar, rename it to some meaningful name, and drop it in your <hibernatetool> classpath.

As you will see the template references a property ${sessionFactoryName} holding the JNDI lookup string. By using the generic <hbmtemplate> task it should be sufficient to add an appropriate <property> element (and a few more already mentioned properties like ejb3 and jdk5) like this:

<property key="sessionFactoryName" value="my/jndi/path"/>

Greetings
