[hibernate-dev] New to Dev List - Have a Patch

Hi Everyone, I'm working on a project using the Hibernate ant tools to generate DAO objects for use inside a Spring context. The existing DAO exporter with suffix "Home" uses JNDI to get the SessionFactory. However, Spring has its own HibernateDaoSupport class which use dependency injection rather than JNDI to determine the Sessionfactory. I could see that the classes I needed were similar to the existing ones, but with modifications to extend the HibernateDaoSupport and the dependency injection approach. Bottom line is that I have downloaded the source and written a patch for Hibernate Tools to actually create the Spring DAO objects. I essentially copied the existing DAO export code, writing another exporter. The xml is <hbm2springdao>. This addition does not introduce a hibernate dependency on Spring. Although the generated code obviously will depend on Spring there are no compile time dependencies on it introduced into the exporter itself. Is this something you want to include in the main distribution? Who should I submit the patch to?
