Using property file in hibernate mapping

Question

Hi,

I have a two nodes environment using the same database. In the database there is a resource table like

RESOURCE_ID,

CODE,

NODE

The content of the NODE column can be 1 or 2 depending on which node can use it. As I need to deploy the same ear to the two nodes, I would like to map this table like this:

<hibernate-mapping>
    <class name="ResourceVO" table="RESOURCE"
           dynamic-update="true" optimistic-lock="dirty" where="NODE=${node.value}" >

I would like to store the node.value property on the file system, so the instances could identify which resource to use. Is it possible in hibernate?

Answer 1

AFAIK, Hibernate doesn't offer any support for this and I would personally use a build tool (Ant, Maven) here, they both have filtering capabilities. See for example the chapter 9.3. Resource Filtering in the Maven Book for Maven.
