How do I create a persistence.xml file for JPA and Hibernate?

Question

I\'m trying to use Hibernate JPA but I need to create my persistence.xml (so I can use the entity manager correctly). I am unsure of what to create and where to place it.

Answer 1

Create a persistence.xml file that resides in the META-INF folder.

Example:

  org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence
  java:/DefaultDS
  ormap.xml
  MyApp.jar
  org.acme.Employee
  org.acme.Person
  org.acme.Address
  
     com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
     XXXXXX
     jdbc:mysql:///
     XXXXX
     XXXXXX
     org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
