Hi,

I want to know whether we can use both hibernate.properties and hibernate.cfg.xml. I have one datasource details in configuration file and other in properties file. Will this work?

Thanks for your help..

Yes, cfg.xml overrides properties.

Thanks chris,

That means I need to have both the data base connection details in cfg.xml file. Am I correct?

You can have them wherever you like.

Hi Chris,

I think I am bit confused. My original question was whether I can use both hibernate.properties(which connect to one database) and hibernate.cfg.xml file(which connect to another database) in my application at once. I know that we can have more than one database connection details in cfg file.

My requirement is that I already have one cfg file in my application. I want to integrate my application with one more module written by others who is using hibernate.properties for connectiong to their database.

Thanks for spending some time for me. I am sorry for not explaining the problem in detail..

It's quite simple: If you have a properties file and a cfg.xml file, Hibernate will read both, if there is a duplicate setting, the cfg.xml has precedence.
