Answer 1

Instead of using XML mapping files, you can use the Hibernate Annotations library which is based on Java 5 annotations.

As usual, you'll need to declare your persistence classes in the Hibernate configuration file (typically hibernate.cfg.xml), though you use the element to declare your persistent classes:

If you are using the Spring framework, you can set up an annotation-based Hibernate session factory using the AnnotationSessionFactoryBean class, as shown here:

  
  
   
     
   
   
     
       org.hibernate.dialect.DerbyDialect
       create
       ...
     
   
   
     
       com.mycompany.sample.domain.Order
       com.mycompany.sample.domain.LineItem
       ...
