1. First step setup for the pom.xml with hibernate dependency ,

hibernate dependency need to before the struts2,because the javassist dependency

2. ApplicationContext.xml for hibernate :

<bean id="sessionFactory"

    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean">

    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />

    <property name="packagesToScan" value="${entities.path}" />

    <property name="hibernateProperties">

      <props>

        <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">${hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto}</prop>

        <prop key="hibernate.dialect">${hibernate.dialect}</prop>

        <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">${hibernate.show_sql}</prop>

        <prop key="hibernate.format_sql">${hibernate.format_sql}</prop>

      </props>

    </property>


  </bean>

3. Install the hibernate tool to generate the entity class automatically:

choose the “hibernate tool” and “hibernate maven integration” and follow the step to install it .

4.using the hibernate reverse engineering(reveng.xml) to generate the reveng.xml file

5.using the hibernate code generate tool to generate the hibernate entities

6.create a new hibernate.cfg.xml file and then create the hibernate console

7.then you can use the HQL editor and hibernate criteria editor .
