Method chaining is a programming style supported by many Hibernate interfaces (see @hvgotcodes example). If you do use this coding style, it’s better to write each method invocation on a different line. 

SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration()
.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml")
.addResource("test.hbm.xml")
.buildSessionFactory();

Otherwise, it may be difficult to step through the code in your debugger.

The same thing that is meant in other contexts.

thing.meth1().meth2().meth3()....

Note that meth has to return something that has the method meth2, and so on.
