Namespace alias for Doctrine

I became responsible for a large legacy web application and I am trying to slowly refactor it into the Symfony2 framework. The first thing I have done is to include Doctrine.

I have installed Doctrine with the help of Composer and set up a bootstrap file for it. My entities, to avoid future complications, already follow the namespacing scheme Company\BundleName\Entity\Object. The following works:

$em->getRepository('Company\\BundleName\\Entity\\Object')
   ->find($id)
;

I was unable to find any reference of how to inform Doctrine of namespace aliases as Symfony2 does, so I can write

$em->getRepository('CompanyBundleName:Object')
   ->find($id)
;

instead. How can I achieve that?

There is an easier way now: 

$config = Setup::createAnnotationMetadataConfiguration(...);
$config->addEntityNamespace('CompanyBundleName', 'Company\BundleName\Entity');

will do what you want. It took me several hours hunting to find this! Its not in the docs anywhere I could find.

The functionality for this is set up in Symfony2 by the DoctrineBridge bundle, specifically the getMappingDriverBundleConfigDefaults function.

If you want to reflect this functionality without Symfony2, you'll need to extend the Doctrine entity manager and generate the prefix yourself in the getRepository function. It is not part of the Doctrine system.
