Chapter 5. Configuring Hibernate for JBoss Web Server

Procedure

1. Depending on the Maven repository you want to use, get the Hibernate JAR files from either jboss-web-server-X.X.x-maven-repository.zip or https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga/.
2. Add the Hibernate JAR files to your deployment WAR file.

Procedure

1. Open the /META-INF/context.xml file.

2. Modify the JDBC connection pools that are available to applications.

   For example:

   <Context>
     <Resource
       name="jdbc/DsWebAppDB"
       auth="Container"
       type="javax.sql.DataSource"
       username="sa"
       password=""
       driverClassName="org.h2.Driver"
       url="jdbc:h2:mem:target/test/db/h2/hibernate"
       maxActive="8"
       maxIdle="4"/>
   </Context>

Procedure

1. Open the /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml file.

2. Configure Hibernate to consume connections from Tomcat.

   For example:

   <persistence version="1.0"
     xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd">
   
     <persistence-unit name="dswebapp">
       <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
       <properties>
         <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect" />
         <property name="hibernate.connection.datasource" value="java:comp/env/jdbc/DsWebAppDB"/>
       </properties>
     </persistence-unit>
   </persistence>

Procedure

1. Open the /WEB-INF/web.xml file.

2. Configure JDBC datasources with the resource-env-ref element.

   For example:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
     http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
   
    <resource-env-ref>
     <resource-env-ref-name>jdbc/DsWebAppDB</resource-env-ref-name>
     <resource-env-ref-type>javax.sql.DataSource</resource-env-ref-type>
    </resource-env-ref>
   </web-app>

   Note

   The preceding example uses a a jdbc/DsWebAppDB data source.
