hibernateProperties.cfg - access hibernate property from Java

Question

I have my session factory described in XML this way:

>    <session-factory>
>         <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
>         <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>

>         <property name="cache.use_minimal_puts">false</property>

>     </session-factory>

Would it be possible to access that CUSTON property from my Java code, I tried the following:

 Environment.getProperties().getProperty("CUSTOM")

Or either from the sessionFactory object but without success, anyway I can achieve this?

Answer 1

Try this code

Field f = SessionFactoryImpl.class.getDeclaredField("properties");
f.setAccessible(true);
Properties p = (Properties)f.get(sessionFactory);
Object custom = p.get("CUSTOM");
