I'm setting up a custom hydrator in Doctrine 2 in a Symfony 2 project, but for it to do what it needs it requires another service. The documentation for custom hydrators only shows how to provide a hydrator class, so there's no way to inject dependencies.
For example:
$em->getConfiguration()->addCustomHydrationMode('CustomHydrator', 'MyProject\Hydrators\CustomHydrator');
I suspect Doctrine is initialising the hydrators itself and as such any dependencies would need to be passed through some other Doctrine classes first.
Is there a way to provide a custom "hydration factory" or similar to Doctrine that would allow injection of additional dependencies? Custom hydrators seem fairly limited without this capability.
Answer: Thanks to Denis V
I got this working as follows. I can't post the actual code so I've put together some dummy placeholders so you can see how it fits together.

services:
doctrine.orm.entity_manager.abstract:

factory_class: Acme\ExampleBundle\Entity\DoctrineEntityManager
