LocalSessionFactoryBean in Spring 3.1.0.RC1 unable to set NamingStrategy [SPR-8864]

[spring-projects-issues]

John Kroubalkian opened SPR-8864 and commented

org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean missing ability to set NamingStrategy (this ability is available in org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean)

Not sure if this is a bug (or by design) but since there has been no response on forum (http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?118079-How-to-set-namingStrategy-in-LocalSessionFactoryBean-in-Spring-3.1.0-and-hibernate-4) thought I'd post it as an issue. If this is not recommended procedure or if should be posted to another project please let me know.

Also, the Component/s section above does not include a SpringORM item.

The hibernate 3 version of LocalSessionFactoryBean (org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean) had a property of org.hibernate.cfg.NamingStrategy that could be set in xml:

<bean id="sessionFactory"
	class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
	<property name="dataSource">
		<ref bean="myDataSource" />
	</property>
	<property name="namingStrategy">
		<ref bean="myNamingStrategy" />
	</property>
        ...
</bean>

The hibernate 4 version of LocalSessionFactoryBean (org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFa ctoryBean) does not have this property.

I tried using an hibernate.ejb.naming_strategy entry in the hibernateProperties property but it had no effect:

<bean id="legacy.sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
                <property name="dataSource">
                        <ref local="myDataSource" />
                </property>
                <property name="packagesToScan">
                        <list>
                        </list>
                </property>
                <property name="hibernateProperties">
                        <props>
                                <prop key="hibernate.dialect">${hibernate.legacy.dialect}</prop>
                                <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">${hibernate.legacy.show_sql}</prop>
                                <prop key="hibernate.ejb.naming_strategy">BOGUScom.my.util.NoPrefixNamingStrategy</prop>
                                <prop key="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class">${hibernate.legacy.cache.region.factory_class}</prop>
                        </props>
                </property>
</bean>

Good catch! We've added a corresponding "namingStrategy" property to the Hibernate 4 LocalSessionFactoryBean variant for Spring 3.1 RC2 (which is scheduled for immediate release).
