Configuring Hibernate

The Tapestry Hibernate Library is responsible for configuring Hibernate for youHibernate Configuration is handled by the Tapestry Hibernate Core module. This is done in a just-in-time manner, the first time a Hibernate Session is required.

HibernateSessionSource Configuration

One way to configure hibernate is to create a hibernate.cfg.xml file and place it in the root of your application (i.e., under src/main/resources). Most Hibernate-specific configuration occurs in this file. Another way is to contribute objects that perform configuration (such as setting event listeners). Example:

public static void contributeHibernateSessionSource(OrderedConfiguration<HibernateConfigurer> config)
{
  config.add("Widget", new WidgetHibernateConfigurer());
}

...

By default, the package application-root-package.entities is scanned as described above. If you have additional packages containing entities, you must contribute them to the tapestry.hibernate.HibernateEntityPackageManager service configuration.

Example:

public static void contributeHibernateEntityPackageManager(Configuration<String> configuration)
{
  configuration.add("org.example.myapp.domain");
}

...
