HiI'm trying to add some custom hibernate mapping files to alfresco, and I don't know how to do this.Any helps?I tried overriding the sessionFactoryBase bean definition in a custom hibernate context file, but I had to re-define the bean entirely to ad my new mapping… something like this… <bean

I've found another less-intrusive way of doing this…

define a custom-hibernate-mappings-context.xml in the extensions folder of alfresco, and define a new sessionFactoryBase called customSessionFactoryBase, inherited from the original sessionFactoryBase. Re-define the mappingResources property only, with the new mapping(s) you need in the list values, but put merge="true" to make spring merge this values with the values of the original sessionFactoryBase. Then, re-define the sessionFactory bean pointing to new parent customSessionFactoryBase instead of old sessionFactoryBase.

Here's the code…


<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans-2.0.dtd'>

<beans>    
    <bean id="customSessionFactoryBase" abstract="true" parent="sessionFactoryBase">
        <property name="mappingResources">
            <list merge="true">
                <value>co/com/arkimia/alfresco/repo/audit/hibernate/SearchAudit.hbm.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean" parent="customSessionFactoryBase">
        <property name="dataSource">
            <ref bean="dataSource" />
        </property>
    </bean>

</beans>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Be carefull of using the spring-beans-2.0.dtd instead of the spring-beans.dtd, because "merge" attribute of list was included in spring 2.0

I hope this helps!
