In this section, you will learn about configuring hibernate to connect to database via JNDI datasource.

You need to do following thing to configure hibernate for connecting database via JNDI datasource :

  • Need to specify your data source in context.xml file(Inside META-INF) :
  • <Context>
    <Resource 
    name="jdbc/AkWebAppDB" 
    auth="Container" 
    type="javax.sql.DataSource" 
    username="ak" 
    password="" 
    driverClassName="org.h2.Driver" 
    url="jdbc:h2:mem:target/test/db/h2/hibernate" 
    maxActive="8" 
    maxIdle="4"/>
    </Context>	
  • <resource-env-ref> inside web.xml which tells the container that you are using this resource :
  • <resource-env-ref>
    <resource-env-ref-name>jdbc/AkWebAppDB</resource-env-ref-name>
    <resource-env-ref-type>javax.sql.DataSource</resource-env-ref-type>
    </resource-env-ref>
    
  • persistence.xml situated inside META-INF :
  • <persistence-unit name="akwebapp">
    <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/AkWebAppDB"/>
    </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
