hibernate.cfg.xml as java object?!?

Hi,

I want to know if it is possible to access the properties file as a java object. I just want to access the data saved in there on a easy way. What I'm exactly needing is url, username and passwort.

Ciao Carina

Hibernate version: 3.2.0 beta8

properties files can be accessed via Properties ;)

The other way is using Hibernate Configuration object, but not much different when it is those 3 pieces of information you want.

I forgot to mention that I'm using the hibernate.cfg.xml file for saving all the connection properties. I tried to access it the way you told me, but I just got empty Properties. Could you perhaps give me a little code example or something in this way?!

cfg.getProperty("blablah")

For all with the same problem: My solution:

Code:

Properties prop = new Configuration().configure().getProperties();
DriverManager.getConnection(prop.getProperty("hibernate.connection.url"), 
      prop.getProperty("hibernate.connection.username"), 
      prop.getProperty("hibernate.connection.password"));

Thanks to all!
