Providing a hibernate configuration using the properties file

This is another way to configure hibernate; here, we will create a file with the .properties extension. Usually called hibernate.properties, this file is a replacement for hibernate.cfg.xml. You can use any approach (either cfg.xml or the properties file). However, the properties file is better for startup, and it is the easiest approach to get started quickly.

This is a simpler representation of an XML file. Hibernate searches for the XML file or the properties file at startup to find the configuration in your classpath. We can use any one of these options. You can use both of them at the same time, but this is uncommon because hibernate gives priority to the XML file over properties; the properties file is simply ignored in such cases.
