[Madhu4u]

hi,

Could anyone pls tell me the diff b/w hibernate configuration file and hibernate properties

[t_mohan]

There is no difference speaking technically ,
all the hibernate configurations can be contained in the hibernate.cfg.xml file and the same configurations can also be specified in the hibernate.properties files
When u create a session factory in the hibernate single ton class which creates the database session and connection pools, the class has to read the properties either from the hibernate.cfg.xml or hibernate.properties files.

like connection, databasedialect, maxconnections etc etc, all these properties can be specified in cfg.xml or .properties.

As far as i know approach is different in reading these parameters

Let me know ur questions
