Hibernate.cfg.xml and hibernate.properties

Hi all

I have written a simple example for storing data into the Hibernate Example. I have written the client code as follows in the servlet:

try{
System.out.println("**Hello World 1**");
config = new Configuration().configure();

config.addClass(UserDataBO.class);

sessionFactory = config.buildSessionFactory();

System.out.println("**Hello World 2**");
session = sessionFactory.openSession();

Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
System.out.println("**Creating Cat**");

session.save(userData);

session.flush();

tx.commit();

System.out.println("**Committing**");

session.close();

}

I have hibernate.properties in the WEB-INF/classes directory, I have placed hibernate3.jar and other jars appearing in lib directory of hibernate installation in WEB-INF/lib directory.

I get the following message on my Jboss-4.0.0 console:-

11:43:53,984 INFO [STDOUT] ************Hello World 1************
11:43:53,984 INFO [Configuration] configuring from resource: /hibernate.cfg.xml
11:43:53,984 INFO [Configuration] Configuration resource: /hibernate.cfg.xml
11:43:54,000 WARN [Configuration] /hibernate.cfg.xml not found
11:43:54,000 INFO [STDOUT] Hibernate Exception :/hibernate.cfg.xml not found

Is it neccessary to have a hibernate.cfg.xml file even when i have a hibernate.properties file in the WEB-INF classes, the control is not entering the config = new Configuration().configure(); in the try block.

Please advice

Thanks in advance.

Hi all

I above problem was resolved, that eas coming because of the .configure() after the new configuration();

I have a new problem,
I have the following code

try{
System.out.println("************Hello World 1************");
config = new Configuration();
System.out.println("************Hello World 2************");
config.addClass(UserDataBO.class);
System.out.println("************Hello World 3************");
sessionFactory = config.buildSessionFactory();

System.out.println("************Hello World 4******************");
session = sessionFactory.openSession();

Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
System.out.println("************Creating Cat***************");

session.save(userData);

session.flush();

tx.commit();

System.out.println("**************Committing**************");

session.close();

}

When i run the code it gives the following on the jboss console:-

14:00:57,890 INFO [STDOUT] ************Hello World 1************
14:00:57,890 INFO [STDOUT] ************Hello World 2************

14:00:57,921 INFO [STDOUT] Hibernate Exception :The dialect was not set. Set the property hibernate.dialect.

I have already set my hibernate in my hibernate.properties file.

What should i do , please advice

Thanks in advance

Raju:

What is the database you are using and what did you enter in the hibernate.properties? Can you post the contents of your hibernate.properties?

Thanks,
Ramesh

Any chance on telling what you did to resolve?

You can have both hibernate.properties and hibernate.cfg.xml in your classpath. The xml configuration overrides the properties file.

It is preferable to have hibernate.properties along with your xml file
because properties file comes with a lot of default settings.

Even hibernate documentation recommeds to keep both types of file
in your class path.

Hi Sujatha Kumar ,

It is preferable to have hibernate.properties along with your xml file
because properties file comes with a lot of default settings.

Can you tell , what is the default settings all about.
