Hi All,

I use the Hibernate Entity Manager and annotations for my project. I need to retrieve the class name for an entity based on its annotations..

i.e. if an entity is marked as @Entity and @Table annotations, if I supply the table name I need the corresponding Entity and class name...Is there any utility class which I can supply the name and it would retrieve me the above data...something like a metadata utility class ?

Thanks in advance...

Regards..Vijay

Hi,

all meta information is in the Configuration class. For example you could call getClassMappings() to get an Iterator of PersistentClass instances. This class should contain the information you need.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply...Unfortunately the Configurations class is just a startup class and the session factory does not hold an instance back to the Configuration class that it used to create in this...EJB3Configuration and Entitymanagerfactory

Any help on this is highly appreciated !!!!

Thanks...Vijay
