Few questions related to Hibernate.properties file

[Aditya Kanitkar]

Hi,

I want to configure my hibernate settings with the help of Hibernate.properties file.
I've already written the contents in the file as well as the HBM file is also ready.



Contents from Hibernate.properties

hibernate.connection.driver_class = oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
hibernate.connection.url = myurl
hibernate.connection.username = test
hibernate.connection.password = test
hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect

My questions are...
1) Do i have to write hibernate.cfg.xml??
2) If yes, what should be written in it??
3) How can i map the .properties file , So that connection can be made...??

Please Help...

Thanks...

Hello,
1) Do i have to write hibernate.cfg.xml?? - This is basically the same as hibernate.properties in xml format. If both files are present in classpath, xml will take precedence. If you want to take advantage of xml syntax, you can use this one.
2) If yes, what should be written in it?? Basically the same stuff as in hibernate.properties
3) How can i map the .properties file , So that connection can be made...?? When you create a SessionFactory and open a session, a connection will be made using the parameters provided in .properties files.

Hope this helps,
Roy
