Session Factory

In order to access the hibernate mappings used by the EmailService, you need to add the following property in the sesionFactory bean of your applicationContext:

<property name="mappingLocations">
    <list>
        <value>classpath*:edu/mit/es/csf/email/hibernate/*.hbm.xml</value>
    </list>
</property>
