Question

I am seeking a way to get information about my hibernate entity classes at runtime. In detail I would need information like

Class ABC has the properties a, b and c with c being a
list and association to class XYZ

for the class

public class ABC {
    private int a;
    private String b;

    @OneToMany
    Private List<XYZ> c;
}

All that is needed at runtime. I am sure Hibernate knows all that at runtime, but I am not aware how to get these information.

Answer 1

PersistentClass userMapping = cfg.getClassMapping(ABC.class);

cfg is an instance of Hibernate Configuration.

PersistentClass has all the info you need.
