Hibernate Configuration Profile

Version

Specifies the targetted version of Hibernate you are developping against.

Descriptor

• Hibernate
  • XML file path: Path to the XML Hibernate Configuration file (i.e., hibernate.cfg.xml) that specificies the configuration parameters necessary to create a Hibernate environment. This file isn't required to be named hibernate.cfg.xml but it must be a valid XML Hibernate Configuration file.
  • Properties file path: Path to the Properties Hibernate Configuration file (i.e., hibernate.properties). This file is optional and usually defines configuration parameters not allowed in the XML file. Isn't required to be named hibernate.properties.

  XML Configuration Example

  <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
  <!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
     "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
     "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
  
  <hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
      <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
      <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://host/db</property>
      <property name="connection.username">myUser</property>
      <property name="connection.password">myPassword</property>
  
      <mapping resource="com/hibero/demo/City.hbm.xml"/>
      <mapping resource="com/hibero/demo/Country.hbm.xml"/>
  
    </session-factory>
  </hibernate-configuration>
                                

  Note

  Hibernate Core and JDBC driver libraries must be included in your project classpath.
• Spring
  • XML file path: Path to the Spring XML configuration file (i.e., beans.xml) that specificies the configuration parameters necessary to create a Hibernate environment.

  Beans Example

  <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
  <!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC
     "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN"
     "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">
  
  <beans>
   <bean id="myDataSource"
         class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
    <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://host/db_name"/>
    <property name="username" value="username"/>
    <property name="password" value="password"/>
   </bean>
  
   <bean id="mySessionFactory"
     class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource" value="myDataSource"/>
    <property name="mappingResources">
     <list>
      <value>com/hibero/demo/City.hbm.xml</value>
     </list>
    </property>
   </bean>
  </beans>
