Hibernate 4.3.0.Final get session

Hi,

There seems some API change in Hibernate 4.3.0. I am not able to get the Session object in Hibernate.

I am trying to build the SessionFactory using the following piece of code:

Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

I this buildSessionFactory is outdated and replaced with some other methods.

Hibernate 4.3.0.Final documentation still gives the following code for getting the session factory:

package org.hibernate.tutorial.util;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class HibernateUtil {

    private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();

    private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
        try {
            // Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
            return new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
        }
        catch (Throwable ex) {
            // Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
            System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }

}

But this code is not working and it is deprecated. What is the latest method of Getting the SessionFactory?

Any help in this regard.

Thanks

Yes, API is deprecated and you should now use the following method of creating SessionFactory:

Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.configure();
serviceRegistry = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(
                configuration.getProperties()).buildServiceRegistry();
sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);

Check the complete code at Hibernate 4 Hello World: Example of Hello World program.

Thanks
