Hibernate with EJB3

[Nikhil Jain]

Can hibernate be used with EJBs. I know that there is support for JPA. But can we use other ORM with EJB3.

[Scott Selikoff]

Yes, to answer your first question, but I'll move this into Object Relationship Mapping tool anyway.

[Marko Novakovic]

Of course it can be used.

Only you cannot use Criteria API and Session. At least i didn't manage to get it from EntityManager.getDelegate()

Here is part of my persistence.xml file..

<persistence-unit name="StockEmuTest-ejbPU" transaction-type="JTA">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<jta-data-source>jdbc/stockemu_mysql</jta-data-source>
....
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/>
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
<property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
