Support for overriding .cfg.xml properties  in HibernateFactory (patch included)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-1387
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1387
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
         Environment: Microcontainer
            Reporter: Przemyslaw Jaskierski
             Fix For: 1.3.0.ALPHA
         Attachments: HibernateFactory-patch.diff.zip

Currently HibernateFactory supports only one type of configuration at a time: .cfg.xml file or "programmatic" one passed by the cfgProperties property.
It would be great to have the ability to override individual properties from the specified .cfg.xml file using cfgProperties property. For example, when you want to have special value for hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto in case of tests only, and normal one in case of production environment.
Applying my patch makes the following thing possible (instead of maintaing two almost identicall hibernate.cfg.xml files):

<bean name="pecpHibernateSessionFactoryFactory" class="pecp.core.seam.HibernateFactory">
	<property name="cfgResourceName">
		<inject bean="pecpHibernateConfigurationLocation"/>	
	</property>
	<property name="namingStrategy">
		<inject bean="underscoreAwareNamingStrategy"/>
	</property>
	<property name="cfgProperties">
		<map class="java.util.Hashtable" keyClass="java.lang.String" valueClass="java.lang.String">
	  		<entry>
	     			<key>hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto</key>
	     			<value>create-drop</value>
	     		</entry>
	        </map>
	 </property> 		
</bean>


I've kept original logical code flow intact, so when there is no cfgResourceName and no cfgProperties set, Seam (as in original case) tries to call configuration.configure() and try to configure from hibernate.cfg.xml file. To make override functionality work you need to specify cfgResourceName property.
