Hii
I am newbie to hibernate. I have a doubt in hibernate annotations.. Hibernate provides data mapping with xmls and with JPA Annotations. Does hibernate has its own annotations without depending on JPA?? I have checked the documentation of hibernate. In chapter 5 they have mentioned like this...
Code:
5.1. Mapping declaration
Object/relational mappings can be defined in three approaches:
*
using Java 5 annotations (via the Java Persistence 2 annotations)
*
using JPA 2 XML deployment descriptors (described in chapter XXX)
*
using the Hibernate legacy XML files approach known as hbm.xml
does it mean , hibernate doesnt have annotations independent of JPA annotations and as an alternative to xml mappings??
