Hey guys, I tried to explore a bit the possibility of hibernate in tomcat, but some things aren't that clear for me. Before hitting the specific questions, please explain what is hibernate in Tomcat, when do we want to use it, how do I use it specifically with the JDBC connection pool (instead of the default DBCP connection pool), and if misconfiguration of the hibernate can cause disconnections of users on the application (that uses tomcat).
Now for 2 specific questions, if I may :] 1. in this article, its states that hibernate can be used for managing the JDBC connection pool, but the strings are for c3p0 pool- http://community.jboss.org/wiki/UsingHibernatewithTomcat why is that? 2. Do I have to use hibernate.properties file, or can I rename it to x.properties and still use the content of the hibernate settings? Thanks Hila
