How to connect hibernate with PostgreSQL in eclipse?

Question

I try to connect hibernate with PostgreSQL, but I don't know why it is not working. I have searched many posts about the setting, but they are not working for me. Thank you very much!

Below is the structure of my files:

hibernate.cfg.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration SYSTEM 
"http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
   <session-factory>
   <property name="hibernate.dialect">
      org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
   </property>
   <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">
      org.postgresql.Driver
   </property>
   <property name="hibernate.connection.url">
      jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/hibernatedb
   </property>
   <property name="hibernate.connection.username">
      eric
   </property>
   <property name="hibernate.connection.password">
      eric123
   </property>

   <mapping resource="Employee.hbm.xml"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Employee.hbm.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC 
 "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD//EN"
 "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd"> 

<hibernate-mapping>
   <class name="Employee" table="EMPLOYEE">
      <meta attribute="class-description">
         This class contains the employee detail. 
      </meta>
      <id name="id" type="int" column="id">
         <generator class="native"/>
      </id>
      <property name="firstName" column="first_name" type="string"/>
      <property name="lastName" column="last_name" type="string"/>
      <property name="salary" column="salary" type="int"/>
   </class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Employee.java

package hibernate.application;

    public class Employee {
       private int id;
       private String firstName; 
       private String lastName;   
       private int salary;  

       public Employee() {}
       public Employee(String fname, String lname, int salary) {
          this.firstName = fname;
          this.lastName = lname;
          this.salary = salary;
       }
       public int getId() {
          return id;
       }
       public void setId( int id ) {
          this.id = id;
       }
       public String getFirstName() {
          return firstName;
       }
       public void setFirstName( String first_name ) {
          this.firstName = first_name;
       }
       public String getLastName() {
          return lastName;
       }
       public void setLastName( String last_name ) {
          this.lastName = last_name;
       }
       public int getSalary() {
          return salary;
       }
       public void setSalary( int salary ) {
          this.salary = salary;
       }
    }

ManageEmployee.java

public class ManageEmployee {
   private static SessionFactory factory;
   private static ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry;

   public static void main(String[] args) {
        Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
        configuration.configure();
        serviceRegistry = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).buildServiceRegistry();        
        factory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);   

        ManageEmployee ME = new ManageEmployee();
        Integer empID1 = ME.addEmployee("Zara", "Ali", 1000);
        ...
   }   
}

Answer 1

I finally find the way to solve it!!!

I have to import JDBC file of PostgreSQL (postgresql-9.2-1003.jdbc4.jar). This file can let eclipse know how to connect with PostGreSQL.
