Common properties in hibernate.cfg.xml as attribute of <session-factory> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HBX-89 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-89 Project: Hibernate Tools Type: Improvement

Components: eclipse Reporter: Adrien Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.1beta1

It will be great to have more assistance from the DTD to set the common properties in hibernate.cfg.xml. By example : <hibernate-configuration> <session-factory name="foo" dialect = "org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect" show_sql = "true" datasource = "java:comp/DataSource" > <property name="c3p0.timeout">60</property> <property name="c3p0.max_size">100</property> <property name="jndi.foo">bar</property> <mapping resource="Product.hbm.xml"/> <mapping resource="Customer.hbm.xml"/> </session-factory> </hibernate-configuration> This way, we avoid having error like mistape some properties name. The XML validator we instantly tell us what's wrong. The current way will still be needed for non-standard or custom properties. I could work on it if needed. Adrien
