Description:
To use Hibernate at run-time one must first load and "compile" all the mapping files. Something like this:
Configuration config = ...; //Load all properties and mapping files
SessionFactory sessionFactory = config.buildSessionFactory();

This is very nice when the domain model change rapidly, because things are always up to date when unit testing. But when the domain model is relatively stable, this "compilation" takes quite some time.

It would therefore be very nice to have a tool to "pre-compile" all the mappings and store them in a file in serialized form, and the ability to create a SessionFactory or at least a Configuration at run-time by loading the pre-compiled mappings.

This would speed up unit testing a lot for us!! We have a J2SE-client + J2EE-server app, but are doing all our business logic unit testing in a single VM. So when I would like to run a jUnit test, then the time taken to compile mappings is relatively high compared to the time the actual test takes. And now we only have about 20 entities, pretty soon that number will double or tripple.

Anyway, thanks for a great O/R tool!!

Best regards
Aksel Hilde
