Hibernate is an object relational mapping (ORM) tool for Java. It maps objects to an underling database creating a persistance layer.
Hibernate is supported by all of our Java Web Hosting plans. That said, Hibernate uses cache so an allowance should be made when
calculating resources needed.
To deploy Hibernate on your Java Web Hosting Tomcat:
Place the hibernate3.jar and all related libraries into the WEB-INF/lib directory of your webapp.
Create either a hibernate.cfg.xml or a hibernate.properties file and place it into WEB-INF/classes.
public class HibernateListener implements ServletContextListener {
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory(); // Just call the static initializer of that class
}
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) {
HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().close(); // Free all resources
}
}
Add the listener to your web.xml .
