I'm wondering if there is a way to map multiple tables who's name won't be 
known until runtime to a single entity class. More specifically, My application 
uses a single entity which it knows the schema for, but not the table name 
until runtime. The applications has to read the table name from another know 
table after startup. All there is at deployment is the key into that table. The 
application consists of a farm of identical apps all running different 
configurations. They basically store data from different JMS queues to the 
database.

I can't find anything useful about this except some byte code manipulators 
which don't seem to work on the annotation since it appears that the class is 
already loaded.

I think there is a legitimate need for such an enhancement. I often have run 
into sqlServer users who don't know how to use segmented clustered indexing or 
can't install an Enterprise version so don't have access to this. They create 
multiple tables and use prepared statements.
This would enable other cheap dbms to be used without having to worry about 
locking and contention at the table level.

Does anyone have any opinions on this?
