Is this file an option?

If I setup my webserver to handle the connection pooling, I can do away with the hibernate properties file right?

The .properties file is optional to an extent, you have to configure Hibernate but you can do it programmatically so you don't actually need an external config file.
However, this is a general thing as opposed to being isolated to connection pooling.
In your case you would still need to turn off Hibernate's connection pooling whether that be programmatically or via the properties file et. al.

How do I turn off Hibernates connection pooling?

If I use configure the webserver to pool conn's, then pass that connection to open a session, will it not then ignore hibernates settings?

You can let Hibernate retrieve the connection from the Webserver Pool via JNDI - please read the Documentation

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/reference/html/session-configuration.html

for the connection pool property explicitly:


Take a look in the code to see what the defaults for all the various properties are to see which ones you may want, or need, to set to something different.

To have Hibernate get the connection from your container you will also need to set the JNDI properties etc.[/code]

hello,

when i retrieve datasources by jndi do i have to set the pool size to 0?

if i set pool size to 0 does hibernate get every new connection by jndi without reusing it?

this is important for me because if dont want hibernate connection pooling for our application. pooling is done by jboss.

thanks for replies, daniel.

If you use a JNDI Datasource Hibernate does not do pooling itself. Just do not set any pool parameters in the config.
