org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration should obey standard java.util.Properties overwrite rules ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1676 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1676 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Affects Versions: 3.0 alpha, 3.0 beta 1, 3.0 beta 2, 3.0 beta 3, 3.0 beta 4, 3.0 rc 1, 3.0 final, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3, 3.0.4, 3.0.5, 3.1 beta 1, 3.1 beta 2, 3.1 rc 1, 3.1 rc2, 3.1 rc3, 3.1, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.2.0.alpha1, 3.2.0.alpha2, 3.1.3, 3.2.0 cr1, 3.2.0.cr2, 3.2.1 Environment: All environments Reporter: Ben Wolfe Priority: Minor Original Estimate: 2m Remaining Estimate: 2m Standard Java properties operate under the principal of "first come first served". Once a property has a value it is not changed by a later attempt. The method org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.addProperties(Element parent) should read private void addProperties(Element parent) { Iterator iter = parent.elementIterator( "property" ); while ( iter.hasNext() ) { Element node = (Element) iter.next(); String name = node.attributeValue( "name" ); String value = node.getText().trim(); log.debug( name + "=" + value ); if (properties.containsKey(name) continue; properties.setProperty( name, value ); if ( !name.startsWith( "hibernate" ) ) { properties.setProperty( "hibernate." + name, value ); } } Environment.verifyProperties( properties ); }
