Hibernate - Prod vs Dev

in my application i am using a command line jvm argument to differentiate whether I am running in production or development. Based on this i proceed to use the relevant configuration / properties files for accessing different databases etc.

With hibernate we have the hibernate.cfg.xml file with the property

<property name="hibernate.connection.url">url</property>

How can we differentiate two different url's for this to avoid connecting to production in dev and visa versa.

Thanks
