how to configure hibernate

SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

u need to configure your hibernat.cfg.xml also
refer documents...

Hi bala,

hibernate.cfg.xml is the configuration file name for Hibernate. You need to write connection types and add jar files(for your db oriented) in lib files.

Configuration of Hibernate:

1.You need Hibernate session factory file
2.hibernaet.cfg.xml file (contains mapping files and connections)

eg., hibernate.cfg.xml file look like

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!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">net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="connection.url">jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.102.100:1433/ProtoBack</property>
<property name="connection.username">sa</property>
<property name="connection.password">sa</property>

<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect</property>

<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="myeclipse.connection.profile">MyCon</property>

<mapping resource="com/quagnitia/student/Student.hbm.xml" />
<mapping resource="com/quagnitia/student/Admin.hbm.xml" />
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

in hibernate session factory look like

cfg.configure(CONFIG_FILE_LOCATION);
sessionFactory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();

Are you trying to do a simple Hello World? If so, there are tutorials and blogs out there that should you. If you are more specific on here you will get a better response.

To configure Hibernate will take you a couple of days to get going (that was how long it took me) and I am still learning each day.

For a quick reference, I looked at the Developer's Journal, from O'Reilly. For a better and more comprehensive description, the Hibernate in Action book is excellent.

Good luck.
