I am using JDK 1.7 (with Derby database), Hibernate-release-4.0.0.CR6, and Eclipse Indigo SR1. I am unable to see how I can use a non-deprecated function in this code. The problem is that the line

SessionFactory sessionFactory = config.buildSessionFactory();

gives a deprecation error for buildSessionFactory(). What alternative can I use?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport;

public class TestEmployee {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.addAnnotatedClass(Employee.class);
config.configure(); // read the file hibernate.cfg.xml

new SchemaExport(config).create(true, true);

Employee emp1 = new Employee();
Employee emp2 = new Employee();
emp1.setEmpID(150);
emp1.setEmpName("Janet Jones");
emp1.setEmpEmailAddress("Janet@songs.com");
emp2.setEmpID(250);
emp2.setEmpName("Billy Furtado");
emp2.setEmpEmailAddress("Billy@crystal.com");

SessionFactory sessionFactory = config.buildSessionFactory();
Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
session.beginTransaction();
session.save(emp1);
session.save(emp2);
session.getTransaction().commit();
session.close();
}
}

I have the same issue, the method buildSessionFactory is deprecated in class Configuration.

There is not a solution in the documentation, it advises to use this deprecated method, as you can see here:

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/4. ... -xmlconfig

An alternative is needed.

David you and I seem to be the only ones interested in this. Are we both making some mistake?

Someone please help!

i found this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7986 ... ibernate-4

but still confuse...

Anyone can do a example?

I took the Hibernate source code and copied the code called by buildSessionFactory to my own initialization code. Maybe not a good solution, but it is a start.

Tested and working,

I posted a short tutorial on my site and how to configure the session under Hibernate 4...
