[Springframework-developer] access to (LocalSessionFactoryBean).createDatabaseSchema()

[Jozsa K. <dy...@on...>]

Hi,

I'd like to create my database schema with my configured 
LocalSessionFactoryBean's convenient method createDatabaseSchema(). I 
configured my LSFB the usual way:

<bean id="sessionFactory" 
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
   <property name="dataSource"><ref local="oracleDS"/></property>
   ...
</bean>

..but if I pull that bean 'sessionFactory' from the spring container, it 
will be a type of net.sf.hibernate.SessionFactoryImpl, the default 
implementation of the hibernate SessionFactory interface. How could I 
invoke the method mentioned to create the database schema then? (I can't 
really see either how the resulting bean could be a total different type 
than the configured one, but that has minor priority compared to my 
original question).

As a side note, I never really understood why Hibernate doesn't let 
access the used Configuration from the SessionFactory instance, which 
could be use to feed SchemaExport and create the schema..

tia,
dyn
