Hey Guys,

I am exploring Spring with hibernate-JPA.I understand some basics.I have questions regarding configuration files.

How does Persistence.xml fit in with applicationContext.xml(Spring config file).
Is there any good tutorial with respect to configuring Spring and Hibernate-JPA.

Any details on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks !
Deepak.

Guys,

I got the Hibernate-JPA stuff working with Spring.Let me know if you need any help!

Thanks,
DS.

can you that link or reference with me

Mahesh,

Let me know what you need? I dont have any particular article or link.I read through lot of articles..didnt find any complete description.
I am thinking of writing a blog on this so that more ppl can benefit.

Thanks,
DS.

I have one doubt here,

While working with JPA I created persistence.xml and I mentioned all my mapping classes in it, my application has created the tables for what ever I have given in peristence.xml , all my mapping classes are annotated with @Entity . I thought that the tables were created based on the entries that we have defined in persistence.xml, but when I removed the entries of some of the classes, then also those tables are getting created , but when I commented the annotation @Entity for what ever the classes that I want to ignore , then those tables are not created. So what my doubt is , even though tables are created with out giving their entries in the persistence.xml by giving @Entity annotation on classes, what should be the use of providing entity classes in to persistence.xml

Mahesh,

I am new to Hibernate and JPA as well.So I may not know all the aspects.
However As I understand Persistence.xml defines all the entities which needs to be managed by Hibernate.This is analogous to Hibernate mapping files (hbm files - used in case of no annotations).This just defines the relationship between different entities and hence tables in DB.These annotated classes tell hibernate how and what to persist.

I am/wasnt aware that you could create tables through defining entities in Persistence.xml.
I created my tables on my own however I am able to persist data in DB.

Thanks,
Deepak.
