[hibernate-dev] Accessing metadata when SF is build the legacy way

Hi. I'm digging up an older question (https://www.mail-archive.com/hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org/msg12872.html)I asked about modifying mapping metadata in H5. In short; I want to change the mutability flag of mappings programmatically. Using H4 there was a method called "getClassMappings" on org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration. This method no longer exist in H5. building the SF one can interact with the metadata after building it using the MetadataBuilder (but before building the SF) this would solve my problem as I would be able to access the metadata at that point and change the behavior. Unfortunately, when using H5 through Spring4, the SF is built as what the manual describes the "legacy way"; Spring's LocalSessionFactoryBean uses Spring's LocalSessionFactoryBuilder which on its turn extends org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration and calls org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration #buildSessionFactory to build the SF. Both metadata and sessionfactory are build in that single method leaving no hook to modify the metadata. At this point I don't see a normal/clean way in accessing the metadata before the SF is build using the legacy way. So, am I missing something? Is there maybe another way to access the metadata? Thanks Koen
