      public class AnnotationSessionFactoryBean
      extends LocalSessionFactoryBean
      implements ResourceLoaderAware

  Subclass of Spring's standard LocalSessionFactoryBean for Hibernate, supporting JDK 1.5+ annotation metadata for mappings.

  Note: This class requires Hibernate 3.2 or later, with the Java Persistence API and the Hibernate Annotations add-on present.

  Example for an AnnotationSessionFactoryBean bean definition:

       <bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
         <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
         <property name="annotatedClasses">
           <list>
             <value>test.package.Foo</value>
             <value>test.package.Bar</value>
           </list>
         </property>
       </bean>

  Or when using classpath scanning for autodetection of entity classes:

       <bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
         <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
         <property name="packagesToScan" value="test.package"/>
       </bean>

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setConfigurationClass

          public void setConfigurationClass(Class<?> configurationClass)

      Description copied from class: `LocalSessionFactoryBean`
      Specify the Hibernate Configuration class to use. Default is "org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration"; any subclass of this default Hibernate Configuration class can be specified.

      Can be set to "org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration" for using Hibernate3 annotation support (initially only available as alpha download separate from the main Hibernate3 distribution).

      Annotated packages and annotated classes can be specified via the corresponding tags in "hibernate.cfg.xml" then, so this will usually be combined with a "configLocation" property that points at such a standard Hibernate configuration file.

      Overrides:
        `setConfigurationClass` in class `LocalSessionFactoryBean`
      See Also:
        `LocalSessionFactoryBean.setConfigLocation(org.springframework.core.io.Resource)`, `Configuration`, `AnnotationConfiguration`

    - #### setAnnotatedClasses

          public void setAnnotatedClasses(Class[] annotatedClasses)

      Specify annotated classes, for which mappings will be read from class-level JDK 1.5+ annotation metadata.
      See Also:
        `AnnotationConfiguration.addAnnotatedClass(Class)`

    - #### setAnnotatedPackages

          public void setAnnotatedPackages(String[] annotatedPackages)

      Specify the names of annotated packages, for which package-level JDK 1.5+ annotation metadata will be read.
      See Also:
        `AnnotationConfiguration.addPackage(String)`

    - #### setPackagesToScan

          public void setPackagesToScan(String[] packagesToScan)

      Specify packages to search using Spring-based scanning for entity classes in the classpath. This is an alternative to listing annotated classes explicitly.

      Default is none. Specify packages to search for autodetection of your entity classes in the classpath. This is analogous to Spring's component-scan feature (`ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner`).

    - #### setEntityTypeFilters

          public void setEntityTypeFilters(TypeFilter[] entityTypeFilters)

      Specify custom type filters for Spring-based scanning for entity classes.

      Default is to search all specified packages for classes annotated with `@javax.persistence.Entity`, `@javax.persistence.Embeddable` or `@javax.persistence.MappedSuperclass`, as well as for Hibernate's special `@org.hibernate.annotations.Entity`.

      See Also:
        `setPackagesToScan(java.lang.String[])`

    - #### setResourceLoader

          public void setResourceLoader(ResourceLoader resourceLoader)

      Description copied from interface: `ResourceLoaderAware`
      Set the ResourceLoader that this object runs in.

      This might be a ResourcePatternResolver, which can be checked through `instanceof ResourcePatternResolver`. See also the `ResourcePatternUtils.getResourcePatternResolver` method.

      Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback like InitializingBean's `afterPropertiesSet` or a custom init-method. Invoked before ApplicationContextAware's `setApplicationContext`.

      Specified by:
        `setResourceLoader` in interface `ResourceLoaderAware`
      Parameters:
        `resourceLoader` - ResourceLoader object to be used by this object
      See Also:
        `ResourcePatternResolver`, `ResourcePatternUtils.getResourcePatternResolver(org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader)`

    - #### postProcessMappings

          protected void postProcessMappings(Configuration config)
                                      throws HibernateException

      Reads metadata from annotated classes and packages into the AnnotationConfiguration instance.
      Overrides:
        `postProcessMappings` in class `LocalSessionFactoryBean`
      Parameters:
        `config` - the current Configuration object
      Throws:
        `HibernateException` - in case of Hibernate initialization errors
      See Also:
        `Configuration.buildMappings()`

    - #### scanPackages

          protected void scanPackages(AnnotationConfiguration config)

      Perform Spring-based scanning for entity classes.
      See Also:
        `setPackagesToScan(java.lang.String[])`

    - #### postProcessConfiguration

          protected void postProcessConfiguration(Configuration config)
                                           throws HibernateException

      This default implementation delegates to `postProcessAnnotationConfiguration(org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration)`.
      Overrides:
        `postProcessConfiguration` in class `LocalSessionFactoryBean`
      Parameters:
        `config` - the current Configuration object
      Throws:
        `HibernateException` - in case of Hibernate initialization errors
      See Also:
        `Configuration.buildMappings()`

    - #### postProcessAnnotationConfiguration

          protected void postProcessAnnotationConfiguration(AnnotationConfiguration config)
                                                     throws HibernateException

      To be implemented by subclasses which want to to perform custom post-processing of the AnnotationConfiguration object after this FactoryBean performed its default initialization.

      Note: As of Hibernate 3.6, AnnotationConfiguration's features have been rolled into Configuration itself. Simply overriding `postProcessConfiguration(org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration)` becomes an option as well then.

      Parameters:
        `config` - the current AnnotationConfiguration object
      Throws:
        `HibernateException` - in case of Hibernate initialization errors
