[Springframework-developer] using *.xml for Hibernate mapping files in the spring.xml

[<jas...@ma...>]

I'm sure I spotted someone mention a custom bean configuration thingy 
that could be used in your Spring.xml to fix this - but tried searching 
the archives and couldn't spot it.

Basically I'd like to be able to do this...

   <bean id="sessionFactory" 
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
     <property name="dataSource">
       <ref local="dataSource"/>
     </property>
     <property name="mappingResources">
       <list>
         <value>**/*.hbm.xml</value>
       </list>
     </property>
   </bean>

rather than have to name each single mapping file by name. e.g..

     <property name="mappingResources">
       <list>
         <value>com/acme/model/Cheese.hbm.xml</value>
         <value>com/acme/model/Pizza.hbm.xml</value>
         <value>com/acme/model/Beer.hbm.xml</value>
       </list>
     </property>

etc.

Is there such a wildcard configuration thingy available right now to 
solve this? I'm aware of the property based 
PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer but wondered if anyone knew of another 
solution to this?
