[smartweb-devel] Configuration file extension misleading

[rlogiacco <rlo...@us...>]

I started to think the .hcf extension modification was not a so brillant idea
for al least two reasons:

1. it confuses developers which tendo to have difficulties to understand
it's just an hibernate.cfg.xml file with a differente name;
2. it confuses programs which need to be configured properly to understand
it's an XML file.

May be it would be better to switch back to the standard naming to solve
this problems, but we still need to allow custom additional files to be
deployed in a shared area. May be a hibernate[-modulename].cfg.xml schema is
what we need.

The impact on the file naming is strong as will be the impact on users
knowledge: those who already understood the .hcf extension will be confused,
but the new ones should find this simpler. We can also allow for both naming
for a while...

Waiting for comments and ideas.
