Hibernate - Core - Conf Page added by Ulrich Stärk Configuring Hibernate The Tapestry Hibernate Library is responsible for configuring Hibernate for you. 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()); } Note that the configuration is an OrderedConfiguration. The library contributes two configurers by default: Default - performs default hibernate configuration PackageName - loads entities by package name as contributed to the HibernateEntityPackageManager service HibernateEntityPackageManager Configuration This configuration is a set of package names, identifying where to search for entity classes. For each package contributed, the library will: Add the package to the configuration, which will load annotations from the package-info class within the named package, if present. Every Java class in the package (or any subpackage) will be added as an annotated class. This excludes inner classes, but includes all other classes. By default, the package application-root-package.entities is scanned as described above. If you have additional packages containing entities, you must [contribute|../tapestry-ioc/configuration.html] them to the tapestry.hibernate.HibernateEntityPackageManager service configuration. Example: public static void contributeHibernateEntityPackageManager(Configuration<String> configuration) { configuration.add("org.example.myapp.domain"); } You may add as many packages in this manner as you wish. This option is most often used when the entities themselves are contained in a library included within an application, rather than part of the application directly. Hibernate Symbols The Hibernate integration includes a number of [symbols|../tapestry-ioc/symbols.html] used to control certain features: tapestry.hibernate.provide-entity-value-encodersIf true (the default) then ValueEncoders are automatically provided for all Hibernate entities (ValueEncoders are used to encode the primary keys of entities as strings that can be included in URLs). Set to false if you want direct control over this feature. tapestry.hibernate.default-configurationIf true (the default), then the application must include a hibernate.cfg.xml file. If your application configures itself entirely in code, you should set this symbol to false. tapestry.hibernate.early-startup If "true", the Hibernate is initialized when the application starts up. The default is "false", to start Hibernate up lazily, on first use. Change Notification Preferences View Online
