Injection of attribute locale in mapping files classes

Hi everbody,

I have the follow situation on Database:

Thats because I have to internationalize the name and details of products.

I think the one right solution for mapping this was the follow:

Code:

<hibernate-mapping package="model">

<class name="Product" table="PRODUCT" >
   <id name="id" column="idProduct" unsaved-value="null">
      <generator class="identity"/>
   </id>

   <property name="price" column="price" not-null="true" type="currency"/>

   <bag name="productDetails" cascade="all" lazy="true">
      <key column="FKidProduct" not-null="true"/>
      <one-to-many class="ProductDetail"/>
   </bag>

</class>

</hibernate-mapping>

On that way I have to create two business classes: Product and ProductDetail, with a relation of aggregation between that, and then create another hibernat-mapping to class ProductDetail, ok.

But I dont want to let my business classes knows the internationalization, I have to use my Product class like this:

So, I need to find a way to inject the atributte locale (coming from my application) in this hibernate mapping to get the right name and details from my table PRODUCT_DETAILS depending of the key Locale that I have to inject.

Anyone can help me to find what aspect of hibernate I have to do research in order to resolve this problem?? I am using Spring + Hibernates 3 on my applications.

Thanks.
