[Hibernate-devel] Hibernate + JNDI

[Gavin_King/Cirrus%<CI...@ci...>]

The code I just committed to CVS makes the SessionFactory bind itself to
JNDI when the user specifies the property hibernate.session_factory_name.
This allows BMP EJBs, for example, to obtain their SessionFactory with a
JNDI lookup. I have a question about this: the way I've done it, we use the
same properties hibernate.jndi.url + hibernate.jndi.class for
DatasourceCOnnectionProvider (which looks up a Datasource in JNDI) as for
SessionFactory. Is there a strong reason to decouple these? ie. would it be
normal to have the Datasource registered with a different JNDI provider
from the SessionFactory?

I want to make this reasonably flexible without having an explosion of
these hibernate.xxxx properties.....
