Dialect resolution: Cannot set a custom dialect resolver programatically or using hibernate.cfg.xml --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5306 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5306 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.5.2, 3.5.1, 3.5.0-Final, 3.5.0-CR-2, 3.5.0-CR-1, 3.5.0-Beta-4, 3.5.0-Beta-3, 3.5.0-Beta-2, 3.5.0.Beta-1, 3.3.2 Reporter: Nikita D Priority: Minor Starting with version 3.3, Hibernate introduced an extremely useful dialect resolution feature (http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/core/reference/en/html_single/#por...). The problem is with the configuration of a custom dialect resolver: * Setting the property Environment.DIALECT_RESOLVERS in the Configuration of a SessionFactory doesn't work, because DialectFactory only reads from Environment.getProperties(), which is only the global properties (system properties plus the hibernate.properties file). * Setting a system property programatically is not safe, because the Environment class caches the system properties in a static constant, so if it's loaded before the code that sets the system property, the property will not be picked up. * The registerDialectResolver() method on DialectFactory is not public. Ideally, it should be possible to configure a custom dialect resolver by setting the property Environment.DIALECT_RESOLVERS on a Configuration object, just as one would configure an explicit dialect. Alternatively, I think an acceptable "quick fix" would be to expose the registerDialectResolver() method on DialectFactory. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
