This is a list for the discussion of HIbernate development. Your question is not a Hibernate development discussion, its a user question. In the future, please refrain from asking usage questions on a developer list. Thanks.
I will address this one quickly though... Unfortunately that method is not coming back. The reasoning has been discussed many times, many places so I won't get back into all the details again. As for Spring and their decision to keep using the legacy bootstrapping approach... Well that was their call. I would assume their logic had more to do with easiness on their side since the same calls work on 4.x and 5.x more-or-less in terms of a straight-line building of the SF. I have to assume because I was never asked about it,. nor were any other Hibernate developers as far as I know. And you're right... it is unfortunate because that decision probably affects a lot of people. All that said, as discussed in the the documents I linked in the original response the legacy bootstrap (Configuration) simply delegates to the new bootstrapping APIs. The new APIs have a lot of hook points, many of which can be automatically discovered (java.util.ServiceLoader). For example, org.hibernate.boot.spi.MetadataContributor is one that would best suit your needs. On Wed, Nov 18, 2015 at 4:21 AM Koen Serneels <k...@error.be> wrote: > Hi.
