[Hibernate] XML Mapping Option: class prefix

[Donnerstag, J. <jue...@ed...>]

I'm fairly new to hibernate. Please apologize if this is silly =
question.

I have several XML mapping files, one for each table. Each mapping file
contains several locations where fully qualified class names are =
required.

Like hibernate.query.imports is there a way to define the package, or =
at
least some common root package which is used as a common prefix. I =
wouldn't
have to type in the fully qualified class name over and over again. =
Besides
it makes it easier to modify and more flexible. I could imagine a =
hibernate
property as default location and <hibernate-mapping> and <class> as
redefinition in case it is needed.
