Hibernate version: 3.0.5

Name and version of the database you are using: MySQL 5.0


Just started using Hibernate and I was looking at the auction example code...I was wondering how the environment/SessionFactory/Session objects knew what database to connect with...

I remember changing the hibernate.properties file's connection URL to point to jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test, but I remember doing this as part of building Hibernate...How is hibernate.properties associated with or used by the auction example code?

How can my app possibly connect to multiple databases, if necessary?


TIA,
Mark Shadle

for multiple databases you need to configure multiple session factories with different config/properties files.

Thanks...I guess I should have built the javadocs and checked them out before posting because I found exactly what you suggested...I found the Configuration API and realized I could setProperty on it and create a new SessionFactory from the updated Configuration...

Thanks again...
