Hi all

I am a newbie to Hibernate, and I missed up. I am trying to have eclise, JBoss, MySql Database, and Hibernate working together..

I read a lot of Hibernate technology, but still.. I don't know how to use it with an existing database..

I have an existing MySql Schema, and I want to build a simple JEE website that interacts with this schema, insert, update, and delete.

I think that DBCP is the best practice to deal with database, to eliminate openning and closing connections.

I am using Eclipse, and JBoss app server.

Any one can give me a small example how to create a datasource on Hibernate, and how to use it a jsp or a servlet file???

Thank

Get Java Persistence with Hibernate or Harnessing Hibernate, the first is a very comprehensive guide for the use of Hibernate, the latter at least has a nice introduction to get you started.
Helped me with my first steps and examples.
