How to include Spring and Hibernate configuration files?

Question

Hibernate

Please help me with setting up Hibernate. Here I have a spring application, there is an xml file with a context that I load at startup (there I have declared hibernate factory, datasource beans):

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");

Everything is fine, but here it was necessary to enable the second-level hibernate cache using the settings:

<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        <property name="cache.use_second_level_cache">true</property>
        <property name="cache.region.factory_class">org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.EhCacheRegionFactory</property>
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

But where to write these settings? applicationContext.xml does not accept. If placed in a separate file, then how to tell the application to use it?

Answer 1

If placed in a separate file, then this line should help

HibernateSessionFactory.setHibernateConfigPath("путь_к_папке_с_конфигами/hibernate.cfg.xml");
