Adding entity mapping in code rather in hibernate.cfg.xml

Question

Is it possible to add mapping in code rather in hibernate.cfg.xml file??

I have one hibernate.cfg.xml file for several different servers and I would like to load the mapping dynamically and not from the cfg file.

Thank you!

For example: If my hibernate.cfg.xml has this line: <mapping class="com.test.User"/> Then, I would like to remove it from cfg file and instantiate it using code. How to do that?? some code example would be appreciated. — Shvalb

You can configure your entities using the JPA annotations. There are a lot of tutorials for this on the net, an example is Hibernate Annotations.

The answer that worked for me:

AnnotationConfiguration config = new AnnotationConfiguration().configure(hibernateCfgFileName); config.addAnnotatedClass(Myclass.class);
