Hibernate and Spring Integration (JNNC Technologies)

We can simply integrate hibernate application with spring application.

In hibernate framework, we provide all the database information hibernate.cfg.xml file.

But if we are going to integrate the hibernate application with spring, we don't need to create the hibernate.cfg.xml file. We can provide all the information in the applicationContext.xml file.

Advantage of Spring framework with hibernate

The Spring framework provides HibernateTemplate class, so you don't need to follow so many steps like create Configuration, BuildSessionFactory, Session, beginning and committing transaction etc.

So it saves a lot of code.
