Answer 1

You can either specify all the connection, password, username etc. directly in a hibernate configuration file, and then load using code like:

Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
cfg.configure();
SessionFactory sf = cfg.buildSessionFactory();

Or, you can obtain it from JNDI. This allows your sysadmin to change the connection, password, username etc. after deployment, by registering a different SessionFactory with JNDI.

You would need to consult your application server's documentation on how to specify JNDI resources with the application server.

Answer 2

Inside of buildsessionfactory method initialize initialcontext.pass the sessionfactory jndi name in the get session factory method( i.e in lookup)
