You can still use a hibernate.cfg.xml file with spring. Here's a sample
from my dao-context.xml:
<bean id="SessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="DataSource" />
<property name="configLocation">
<value>classpath:hibernate.cfg.xml</value>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">${hibernate.dialect}</prop>
<prop key="show-sql">${hibernate.show_sql}</prop>
<prop
key="hibernate.hbm2dll.auto">${hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto}</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
It makes the Hibernate tools A LOT easier to use. Plus I like keeping all
my mapping information (hibernate.cf.xml) separate from my application
context. The *only* thing I place in my hibernate config file are my
mapping classes:
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<mapping class="x.y.z"/>
...
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
Hope that helps!
