I used this piece of code to get metadata from my Session using releases 3.x:

As connection method has been deprecated and discarded from release 4.0, how can I obtain same results using this new release?

Version 4 is not working for ejb3Configuration. It is deprecated. I am using the Java method to program it in my java class. The Java file won't compile using version 4.

Ejb3Configuration ejb3Configuration = new Ejb3Configuration();

ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.max_size", ("75"));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.max_statements", ("10"));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.min_size", ("05"));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.timeout", ("1800"));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.datasource", ("java:comp/env/jdbc/dbThis_rdbms"));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.driver_class", ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.password", (""));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.url", ("jdbc:mysql://Dbthishost/dbThis_rdbms"));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.username", (""));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.current_session_context_class", ("thread"));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.dialect", ("org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect"));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.order_updates", ("true"));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.show_sql", ("true"));
// ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.transaction.factory_class", ("org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransactionFactory"));
ejb3Configuration.setProperty("hibernate.session_factory_name", ("dbThisJPAFactory"));

// <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>

entityManagerFactory = ejb3Configuration.buildEntityManagerFactory();
entityManager = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager();

I too would like to know the answer to this.

I solved it using Spring. I already was using it and I did not have to start a new learning curve.



Just in case you do not know how to get DataSource...

This answer seems very specific to your application. I need a Hibernate answer. We were able to get the Connection in the past from the Hibernate Session, and now we can't... so what am I supposed to do?

Are you using Spring?
