What you mean by word "plug-in"? Using Hibernate with Struts has no differences from using Hibernate with any other web application or web framework. Simply put neccessary jars in classpath, create hibernate.cfg.xml file with configuration, map your classes and use it!

As stated above, there is no need or way to connect Hibernate and STRUTS. You cannot tell STRUTS to load Hibernate for you. These are two entirely different functions. You are confusing yourself by trying to think of these two things together.

I'm guessing you are trying to understand how to get Hibernate to initialize in a web application where you happen to be usiing STRUTS.

Put hibernate.cfg.xml into WEB-INF/classes
*.hbm.xml files go in the same dir as the class files.
Create a servlet to configure hibernate. Put an entry into web.xml that loads this servlet on start up.
