You have to add the following properties into your hibernate.cfg.xml file.

<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://us-cdbr-iron-east-03.cleardb.net:3306/heroku_123456789?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">my_username</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">my_passsword</property>

Please note that the property value of the hibernate.connection.url is a sample only. But it has the URL format. You have replace it with your own URL.

Property values of hibernate.connection.username and hibernate.connection.password should also be replace.
