Hibernate Configuration
Hibernate needs to know where to look for the mapping information that determines how your Java classes relate to database tables ahead of time. Hibernate also requires a set of databases and other associated parameter configuration settings. This information is usually provided in a hibernate—properties file in Java or a hibernate.cfg.xml file in XML.
My examples will use the XML-formatted file hibernate.cfg.xml to specify required Hibernate properties. Most properties have default values, so setting them in the property file isn't necessary unless it's necessary.
Hibernate Properties
As a solo database administrator, you will need to set up the following properties:
- hibernate.dialect: This field tells Hibernate which SQL dialect to use for the selected database.
- hibernate.connection.driver_class: The JDBC driver class is hibernate.connection.driver class.
- hibernate.connection.url: JDBC URL for the database instance specified by hibernate.connection.url
- hibernate.connection.username: Hibernate connection username.
- hibernate.connection.password: The database password for hibernate.connection.password.
- hibernate.connection.pool_size: The number of connections waiting in the Hibernate database connection pool can be limited with this property.
- hibernate.connection.autocommit: JDBC connection autocommit mode is enabled via hibernate.connection.autocommit.
