Hibernate in GlassFish

Modern How-To

To use hibernate with glassfish, all you have to do is put hibernate and its dependencies into your EAR file. This might also with with a WAR file.

In your persistence.xml, specify hibernate using this tag:

<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>

You can also specify hibernate properties as usual, for example:

<properties>
    <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="none"/>
</properties>

There used to be a bunch of really complicated instructions here, but they are not necessary with the latest versions of hibernate and glassfish.
