Create session factory in Hibernate 4

Question

I\'m having trouble generating a session factory in Hibernate 4. In Hibernate 3 I simple did:

org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration conf= HibernateUtil
    .getLim         


        

Answer 1

In earlier versions session factory was created as below:

SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

The method buildSessionFactory is deprecated from the hibernate 4 release and it is replaced with the new API. If you are using the hibernate 4.3.0 and above, your code has to be like:

Configuration configuration = new Configuration().configure();
StandardServiceRegistryBuilder builder = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().
applySettings(configuration.getProperties());
SessionFactory factory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(builder.build());
