Years ago I set up Hibernate Annotations on a system (back when annotations was in beta) and am now doing so again, but got caught up in an issue that I am not sure how to work around.

I am trying to set up a programmatic configuration. For several reasons, I would like to get a purely programmatic solution working if that is possible.

I set up my AnnotationConfiguration with the following properties set:
hibernate.connection.driver_class (HSQLDB's jdbcDriver)
hibernate.connection.url (in-memory HSQLDB)
hibernate.connection.username (sa)
hibernate.connection.password ("")
hibernate.show_sql (true)
hibernate.connection.pool_size (1)
hibernate.current_session_context_class (thread)
hibernate.dialect (HSQLDialect)

This is not meant for production yet, but is rather a proof-of-concept in integrating this into an existent large project.

I have also added one annotated class which uses method annotations.

When I run the configure step I get the message "/hibernate.cfg.xml not found," is there some required property that I'm missing, can I need to give it an XML file in the config that is not hibernate.cfg.xml, or is there no way out of having hibernate.cfg.xml?

Hi, just don't call "configure", it is not needed, if "addProperties" is used.

Had the same problem before and spent a lot of time, cause it is not obvious.
