Hi,

I am trying a Hibernate Tutorial in OnJava. It says Hibernate.properties should be like this:

hibernate.connection.username=sa
hibernate.connection.password=
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:hsqldb:/home/davor/hibernate/orders
hibernate.connection.driver_class=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
hibernate.dialect=net.sf.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect

My question is: if I use WSAD and have a datasource setup by JNDI name "jdbc/test"

a) how do I specify this in this properties file.
b) do I need to specify username and password in this file (all this info is already there in WAD datasource). And is it a good idea to store password as plain text in this file?? This is normally against corporate security policy???

Hope to get your answers.

Thanks,

Sanz

a) please read the reference manual and look at the example hibernate.properties in the hibernate distribution
b) No. See a)

Thanks. I did and getting the following exception:
