Hi,

Is it possible to set some system/java property (java -Dproperty=value) to tell Hibernate to read configuration from another file than default hibernate.cfg.xml or hibernate.properties?

I know it could be done in runtime by Java code, but -D would be easier to switch between different configurations or choose stand alone/JBoss version.

I use Hibernate 3.1.2.

Thanks for help
Marcin

There's no property built into Hibernate to do that, but why not create your session factory as follows?




That way it'll act as normal unless you override it with a property.

Thanks for your answer and sorry for a delay. I was away for a while.



It looks good, but is it possible to use it in cooperation with JBoss?

Surely it should work the same way with JBoss - or am I missing something?

No, it was my temporary eclipse regarding fact how does JBoss fetch session factory.


Thanks again for your hint.

I wrote it too early.
In stand alone application I create SessionFactory once and take session using "getCurrentSession()" to perform "beginTransaction()" and it works properly.
In application started on JBoss I have:

and later "tx.begin()". In that case Hibernate is initialized with default parameters.

Is it possible to use similar trick in that situation?
