- Limitations: The SessionFactory rebuilding works when it is being built through classes HibernatePersistence, HibernateService, org.jboss.hibernate.jmx.Hibernate or org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean. All classes that create SessionFactory instances have to be handled separately. If user creates SessionFactory in his own code, the integration won’t capture that.
