The mappingResources property's type is String[] , so you can specify a set of mapping files in the
classpath. LocalSessionFactoryBean also allows you take advantage of Spring's resource-loading support
to load mapping files from various types of locations. You can specify the resource paths of the mapping
files in the mappingLocations property, whose type is Resource[] .

<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
...
<property name=" mappingLocations">
<list>
<value>classpath:com/apress/springenterpriserecipes/course/ ➥

Course.hbm.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
...
</bean>

With Spring's resource-loading support, you can also use wildcards in a resource path to
match multiple mapping files so that you don't need to configure their locations every time you add
a new entity class. Spring's preregistered ResourceArrayPropertyEditor will convert this path into a
Resource array.

<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
...
<property name=" mappingLocations"
value="classpath:com/apress/springenterpriserecipes/course/*.hbm.xml" />
...
</bean>

If your mapping metadata is provided through JPA annotations, you have to make use
of AnnotationSessionFactoryBean instead. You have to specify the persistent classes in the
annotatedClasses property of AnnotationSessionFactoryBean .

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.

➥

annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name=" annotatedClasses">
<list>
<value>com.apress.springenterpriserecipes.course.Course</value>
</list>
</property>
