I think this makes sense, and I definately have a use for it. I've implemented more or less the same thing at the web application level where with a ServletContext Listener that listens for the ServletContextCreated event and creates a SessionFactory and stores it in the application scope.
With this in place, I would no longer need this code, and I could share the SessionFactory between the instances of the web application. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Gavin_King/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 9:40 AM Subject: [Hibernate-devel] XML SessionFactory configuration > > I've been thinking about the problem of configuring a SessionFactory for > a J2EE application where application code has no control over the system > initialization procedure.
