Can i mix hibernate configuration data in properties and hibernate.cfg.xml files

[ken carlino]

Hi,

Can I mix hibernate configuration data in properties and cfg.xml files?
i.e. part of it is in properties and part of it is in cfg.xml files?

Here is my code:

Properties properties = new Properties();
        // is is the inputstream of the property files
        properties.load(is);
       
        Configuration conf = new Configuration().configure("/hibernate.cfg.xml");
        conf.setProperties(properties);
            sessionFactory = conf.buildSessionFactory();

But I get this exception, when i run it:

Initial SessionFactory creation failed.org.hibernate.HibernateException: Hibernate Dialect must be explicitly set

I did set the database dialect in my hibernate.cfg.xml file:

<property name="dialect">
org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect
</property>
