[Springframework-developer] Hibernate 3 annotations in 1.2 rc1

[Washusen, D. <Dan...@se...>]

Hey guys,

I've bean mucking around with Hibernate 3 (with annotations) support in
nightly build.  All is going well but I thought I would offer some
feedback...

1.	I had to extend the
org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean class and
override the newConfiguration() method to return an instance of
org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration.
2.	I then moved the list of mappings (from hibernate2) specified by
mappingResources into the hibernate.cfg.xml file (using the format
specified by the Hibernate annotations page) and specified the location
using the configLocation property.

Pretty easy really...

A provided extension of LocalSessionFactoryBean that had support for
annotated classes would be nice.  The bean definition could look
something like:

<bean id=3D"sessionFactory"
class=3D"org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.AnnotationsLocalSessionFactory
Bean">

        <property name=3D"dataSource">

            <ref local=3D"dataSource"/>

        </property>

        <property name=3D"mappingPackage">

            <value>some.package</value>

        </property>

        <property name=3D"annotatedClasses">

            <list>

                <value>com.package.Foo</value>

                <value>com.package.Bar</value>

            </list>

        </property>

    </bean>
