[Hibernate] Using factory methods to obtain new instances

[Simon Stewart]

Just a quick query: as I understand it, each Object that uses Hibernate 
for persistence needs to have a concrete class with an empty 
constructor. How hard would it be to modify Hibernate to call a method 
on a factory class instead of "new"? And how hard would it be to be 
able to pass a reference to this factory class to hibernate, to allow 
for non-static methods?

I ask because I tend to persist objects that act (at their most basic) 
as strongly typed Maps. These can be created on the fly using dynamic 
proxies from a basic interface. The rest should follow from there.

Regards,

Simon
