How do I configure Hibernate ORM in my Java application?

To configure Hibernate ORM, you need to set up a configuration file (hibernate.cfg.xml) and include your database connection details.

What should I include in the hibernate.cfg.xml file?

You should include properties like 'hibernate.dialect', 'hibernate.connection.url', 'hibernate.connection.username', and 'hibernate.connection.password'.

Do I need to add any dependencies for Hibernate?

Yes, you need to add Hibernate core and your database driver dependencies in your project's build file, like Maven or Gradle.

Can you give me an example of a basic hibernate.cfg.xml file?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.password">password</property>
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
