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

[Steve Ebersole]

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).
