hibernate.properties

[herkules]

Hi,

I tried to use hibernate.properties file to override the hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto property. The file is placed in the root folder of ejb3 jar. However JBoss still uses the defaults from ejb3.deployer\META-INF\hibernate.properties. I have JBoss jboss-4.0.1sp1 and EJB-3.0_Preview_5.

Does it work for you?

Thanks, Jan

You have to place hibernate.properties of the META-INF/ dir of your JAR. Same if you used hibernate.cfg.xml.

xxx.hbm.xml files can be anywhere in the jar though.

Thanks for answer, I tried with the file in META-INF older, but it doesn't work too.

The EJB 3.0 reference says: "Place hibernate.properties in a root directory of the classpath". Is there an error in the documentation?

can you point out the error in the doco here?

it is surprising that putting the hibernate.properties in the META-INF of the jar file doesn't work....

Yes: docs\Hibernate3\reference\en\html\session-configuration.html, chapter 3.1 "Place hibernate.properties in a root directory of the classpath. "

Indeed ti works fine when placed in META-INF folder. Just the documentation is not correct.

Thanks, Jan

It's Hibernate3 docs. Not EJB3.
For Hibernate You must place hibernate.properties in a root directory of the classpath.
For ejb3 place it in the META-INF directory of the jar file.

Now it's clear to me, the EJB newbie.

Thanks.
