In our plugin class we have define a variable _configFilePath<\/B> to hold the name of Hibernate Configuration file<\/B>. <\/P>
\n

private String _configFilePath = “\/hibernate.cfg.xml”;<\/FONT> <\/P>
\n

Following code define the key to store the session factory instance in the Servlet context. <\/P>
\n

public static final String SESSION_FACTORY_KEY = SessionFactory.class.getName();<\/FONT> <\/P>
\n

The init() is called on the startup of the Struts Application. On startup the session factory is initialized and cached in the Servlet context. <\/P>
\n

configFileURL = HibernatePlugIn.class.getResource(_configFilePath);
context = servlet.getServletContext();
configuration = (new Configuration()).configure(configFileURL);
_factory = configuration.buildSessionFactory();
\/\/Set the factory into session
context.setAttribute(SESSION_FACTORY_KEY, _factory);
<\/FONT><\/P>
\n

Changes to be done in struts-config.xml file<\/B> <\/P>
\n

Configuring Hibernate with Struts is very simple work it requires you to have hibernate.cfg.xml in your WEB-INF\/classes directory, and to add the following line to the struts-config.xml file. <\/P>
\n

<plug-in className=”roseindia.net.plugin.HibernatePlugIn”><\/plug-in><\/FONT> <\/P>
\n

Testing the Plugin<\/B> <\/P>
\n

Build your application and deploy on the tomcat server. Start tomcat server and observe the console output. It should display the following line: <\/P>
