From the hibernate source code here, a StandardServiceRegistryBuilder instance is used to get different services from hibernate.cfg.xml, for example serviceRegistry.getService( JdbcServices.class ), serviceRegistry.getService( CacheImplementor.class ).

The old configuration.buildSessionFactory() method is as below now:

public SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() throws HibernateException {
    Environment.verifyProperties( properties );
    ConfigurationHelper.resolvePlaceHolders( properties );
    final ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry =  new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder()
            .applySettings( properties )
            .build();
    setSessionFactoryObserver(
            new SessionFactoryObserver() {
                @Override
                public void sessionFactoryCreated(SessionFactory factory) {
                }

                @Override
                public void sessionFactoryClosed(SessionFactory factory) {
                    ( (StandardServiceRegistryImpl) serviceRegistry ).destroy();
                }
            }
    );
    return buildSessionFactory( serviceRegistry );
}
