Connecting PostgreSQL 9.2.1 with Hibernate

Question

I have a blank Spring MVC project, and I've installed Hibernate and the PostgreSQL drivers using Maven.

I'm running short on complete tutorials that show how to connect PostgreSQL with Hibernate.

Any help here?

This is a hibernate.cfg.xml for posgresql and it will help you with basic hibernate configurations for posgresql.

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.postgresql.Driver</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.username">postgres</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.password">password</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/hibernatedb</property>



        <property name="connection_pool_size">1</property>

        <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>

        <property name="show_sql">true</property>



       <mapping class="org.javabrains.sanjaya.dto.UserDetails"/>

    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

如果项目是maven放在src/main/resources ，在包阶段它会将它复制到../WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml

Make sure File Location should be under src/main/resources/hibernate.cfg.xml

Answer 4

Yes by using spring-boot with hibernate configuration files we can persist the data to the database. keep hibernating .cfg.xml in your src/main/resources folder for reading the configurations related to database.
