Configuring Hibernate using these APIs usually involves working with:

1. StandardServiceRegistryBuilder, then
2. MetadataSources andMetadataBuilder, and
3. finally, withSessionFactoryBuilder.

 StandardServiceRegistry standardRegistry =         new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder()                 // supply a configuration                 .configure("org/hibernate/example/hibernate.cfg.xml")                 // set a configuration property                 .applySetting(AvailableSettings.HBM2DDL_AUTO,                               SchemaAutoTooling.CREATE_DROP.externalForm())                 .build(); MetadataBuilder metadataBuilder =         new MetadataSources(standardRegistry)                 // supply annotated classes                 .addAnnotatedClass(MyEntity.class)                 .addAnnotatedClassName("org.hibernate.example.Customer")                 // supply XML-based mappings                 .addResource("org/hibernate/example/Order.hbm.xml")                 .addResource("org/hibernate/example/Product.orm.xml")                 .getMetadataBuilder(); Metadata metadata =         metadataBuilder                 // set the naming strategies                 .applyImplicitNamingStrategy(ImplicitNamingStrategyJpaCompliantImpl.INSTANCE)                 .applyPhysicalNamingStrategy(new CustomPhysicalNamingStrategy())                 // add a TypeContributor                 .applyTypes(new CustomTypeContributor())                 .build(); SessionFactoryBuilder sessionFactoryBuilder =         metadata.getSessionFactoryBuilder(); SessionFactory sessionFactory =         sessionFactoryBuilder                 // supply a factory-level Interceptor                 .applyInterceptor(new CustomSessionFactoryInterceptor());                 // add a custom observer                 .addSessionFactoryObservers(new CustomSessionFactoryObserver());                 // apply a CDI BeanManager (for JPA event listeners)                 .applyBeanManager(getBeanManager());                 .build();

In more advanced scenarios,BootstrapServiceRegistryBuilder might also be used.

See theNative Bootstrapping guide for more details.

Included in subpackages under this namespace are:

• implementations ofServiceRegistry used during the bootstrap process,
• implementations ofMetadataBuilder andMetadata, andSessionFactoryBuilder,
• support forImplicitNamingStrategy andPhysicalNamingStrategy,
• a range of SPIs allowing integration with the process of building metadata,
• internal code for parsing and interpreting mapping information declared in XML or using annotations,
• support for integrating an implementation of Bean Validation, such asHibernate Validator, and
• some SPIs used for schema management, including support for exportingauxiliary database objects, and for determining theorder of columns in generated DDL statements.
