Hi

I am very new to Hibernate technology.

I have created Hibernate.properties and Hibarnet.cfg.xml.
I have place both this files into a project root directory.

When I run my test application. It find hibernate.properties and hibernate.cfg.xml files. But for some reason, data in a hibernate.cfg.xml is empy. Data from properties file is not been pickup my hibernate.cfg.xml.

Doesn't hibernate.cfg.xml, suppose to pickup data automatically from properties files.

I am lost here.

Please could you help me.

Many thank

Re-read the documentation regarding these files. Data from hibernate.properties does not get copied into the hibernate.cfg.xml. The files each provide a method for configuring Hibernate. One as a standard Java properties file, the other using XML.

here is the files
hibernate.properties

# dialect to be used
hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
# driver used
hibernate.connection.driver_class=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
# database name
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:mysql:///myTest

hibernate.cfg.xml
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="dialect"></property>
<property name="connection.driver_class"></property>
<property name="connection.url"></property>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

I was expected property: name, connection.driver_class, connection.url to be pickup from hibernate.properties file.

I am lost here.

Please could you help me.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe that if you specify both files, then the hibernate.cfg.xml will overwrite the hibernate.properties file. Since you have the fields specified, with empty values, the empty values overwrite the valid values. You only need to use 1 of these files. Just specify all of the details in the hibernate.cfg.xml and everything should work fine.
