Changing datasource connection url runtime

Question

I am working on a project which uses spring + hibernate + mysql and c3p0 for connection pooling.

Currently the properties for the connection pool are loaded via prop

Answer 1

If you are asking for multiple databases connections ..it is possible with hibernate by creating multiple hibernate.cfg.file 's which is some what inappropriate

By following line you can acheive that .

SessionFactory sf = new Configuration().configure("somename.cfg.xml").buildSessionFactory();

When your primary connection not established you have load another hibernate configuration ...otherwise is wont possible .
