Hibernate and PostgreSQL configuration using persistence.xml and EntityManager
In this tutorial I am going to show you how to use Hibernate with Entity Manager. It is based on my previous tutorial and it is an enhancement of this code. In previous tutorial I was using “hibernate-entitymanager” dependency, so there is no need to do any modifications in pom.xml now.
1. Create persistence.xml file in src/main/resources/META-INF directory. You can also remove hibernate.cfg.xml, but it is not mandatory.
