In Hibernate 3/JBoss4, I had a hibernate.cfg.xml with information about how to connect to my remote database.
Question 1:
In this file was information like the connection url, dialect and mapping information for persisted classes (e.g. <mapping class="User"/>. Now it seems that the url, dialect are configured using stanalone.xml. But how do I tell JBoss/Hibernate about the mapped classes?
Question 2:
I was able to use hibernate.cfg.xml to open sessions using a SessionFactory like this:
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
public class HibernateUtil {
private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();
private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
try {
// Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
SessionFactory f = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
return f;
}
catch (Throwable ex) {
// Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
}
public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return sessionFactory;
}
}
But now, in Hibernate 4, import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration is deprecated.
How do I instantiate a SessionFactory now?
