Re: [hibernate-dev] how to get an EntityBinding by class name?

Ok, should have gone back to original question Yes, you can name either Class name or entity-name, here. In fact thats true of most of the Hibernate APIs. Its a historical thing. Before Hibernate APIs were just like the JPA APIs in that you could only reference entities by Class reference. With the development of the entity-name feature, thats no longer always possible. We left the Class-reference forms available (non-deprecated) since if your application is not using entity-names that is still a valid way to reference the mappings/persisters because there is a one-to-one correspondence. Otherwise, as already pointed out on this thread, you have a many-to-one correspondence (*a* single Class might reference multiple entity mappings).
