hi, how to get actual database column name from ColumnMetaData api if I know only the 'mapping file name', and the corresponding bean class?

Hi,
You can use hibernate's "PersistentClass" to get the entity mapping information at runtime. You can get the mapping class for a persistent entity say "User" with the code below and explore the Table class apis for getting the columns of the table. For Eg:

PersistentClass userMapping = cfg.getClassMapping(User.class.getName());
Table userTable = userMapping.getTable();
Iterator iter = userTable.getColumnIterator();
while(iter.hasNext()) {
    System.out.println(iter.next());
}
