What I did was a bit of a hack... I had the servlet context listener parse the hibernate.cfg.xml, find the datasource name, and then replaced it with what was in web.xml. I could then hand that DOM object to the hibernate configure method, and hibernate would start great.
The problem I hit today was that with this solution, the XML parsing of hibernate.cfg.xml was called from a class outside of the hibernate.jar, so then it couldn't get to the DTD in the jar.
Any other suggestions for workarounds? There are a number of ways to support loading a configuration, but there doesn't seem to be a way to set properties programmatically. Any thoughts?
