Hibernate - ServiceRegistryBuilder

Question

I'm just trying to learn Hibernate (version 4 final) but I have a problem when trying to create the session factory. Here is some code related to the problem:

hibernate.cfg.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!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="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/fitterblog</property>
    <property name="connection.username">root</property>
    <property name="connection.password"></property>
    <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>

    <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
    <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect</property>
    <property name="transaction.factory_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransactionFactory</property>
    <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
    <property name="show_sql">true</property>

    <!--<mapping class="com.fitterblog.objects.Article"/>
    <mapping class="com.fitterblog.objects.Nav"/>
    <mapping class="com.fitterblog.objects.Tag"/>
    <mapping class="com.fitterblog.objects.User"/>-->

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

HibernateUtil.java:

public class HibernateUtil {

    private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();

    private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
        try {
            // Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml

            ServiceRegistryBuilder srb = new ServiceRegistryBuilder();

            //NOTE: THIS IS WHERE MY PROGRAM DIES!!
            srb = srb.configure();

            ServiceRegistry sr = srb.buildServiceRegistry();
            MetadataSources mds = new MetadataSources(sr);
            /*mds.addAnnotatedClass(com.fitterblog.objects.Article.class);
            mds.addAnnotatedClass(com.fitterblog.objects.Nav.class);
            mds.addAnnotatedClass(com.fitterblog.objects.Tag.class);
            mds.addAnnotatedClass(com.fitterblog.objects.User.class);*/
            return mds.buildMetadata().buildSessionFactory();
        } catch (Throwable ex) {
            System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }
}

Now, what seems to be the problem is creating the ServiceRegistryBuilder. When the code execution gets to that point, it gives me the following error:

org.hibernate.internal.util.config.ConfigurationException: 
Unable to perform unmarshalling at line number 14 and 
column 26 in RESOURCE hibernate.cfg.xml. Message: cvc-elt.1:
Cannot find the declaration of element 'hibernate-configuration'.

How do I fix this? I can't seem to find a solution myself.

Answer 1

The methods buildSessionFactory and ServiceRegistryBuilder in Hibernate 4.3.4 are deprecated.

The right code is here.

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;


.....

    Configuration conf = new Configuration()
              .configure();


    ServiceRegistry sr = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(conf.getProperties()).build();


    SessionFactory sf = conf.buildSessionFactory(sr);

    Session session = sf.openSession();

    session.beginTransaction();


    YourDominClass ydc = new YourDominClass();

    ydc.setSomething("abcdefg");

    session.save(ydc);

    session.getTransaction().commit();

    session.close();

    sf.close();
            ........
