I'm usting Hibernate version 2 and creating configuration object in following way:
Configuration cfg = new Configuration.configure("my-hibernate.cfg.xml");

Whole application is packed in one jar called "my.jar".

This jar file goes than as one of the app library which is packed as "my.ear" file. I need to be able to modify "dialect" property from "my-hibernate.cfg.xml" file for each ear that I craete.

How can I externalize hibernate configuration to be placed outside of this jar file?
Is it possbile to overrite it with "hibernate.properties" placed outsice of this jar file, but still in the ear file if my configruation file is defined explicitely during Configuration object creation?

anyone?

Try this:
