org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration adding packages where Annotated classes resides
annotations, configuration, hibernate-4.x, java, package
Solution
I'm not familiar with many of the changes in Hibernate 4, but there was no way to do this in Hibernate 3. I recommend using Spring's excellent Hibernate support, which lets you scan packages for entities, like you're asking for, and can manage a lot of other stuff for you, too, if you run your app in a Spring container.
Problem
I am creating database tables by the following code: ``` public void createSchema() { Configuration configuration = new Configuration(); configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.driver_class", driverClassName); configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.url", url); configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.username", username); configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.password", password); configuration.setProperty("hibernate.dialect", hibernateDialect); configuration.addAnnotatedClass(Base.class); configuration.addAnnotatedClass(User.class); logger.info("begin database schema creation ========================="); new SchemaUpdate(configuration).execute(true, true); logger.info("end database schema creation ==========================="); } ``` Here I have specified the Annotated classes names by `configuration.addAnnotatedClass` method. If I have 50 classes, then it will be really messy. Is there any way to specify packages names for scanning for Annotated classes?
