how to change hibernate connection at runtime in java?

Question

i found this solution but its not working, im using netbeans

my hibernate.cfg.xml:

<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.url"></property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.username"></property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.password"></property>
        <property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</property>
        <mapping resource="entity/User.hbm.xml"/>
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

my java code:

Object server=txtServer.getText();
Object database = txtDatabase.getText();
Object port = txtPort.getText();
String serverUsername = txtSUsername.getText();
String serverPassword = new String(txtSPassword.getPassword());
String url = "jdbc:mysql://" + server + ":" + port + "/" + database;
Configuration conf = new Configuration();
conf.configure().setProperty("hibernate.connection.url", url);
conf.setProperty("hibernate.connection.username", serverUsername);
conf.setProperty("hibernate.connection.password", serverPassword);
SessionFactory sf = conf.buildSessionFactory();

error message:

my mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar is in lib folder.

what fix is necessary?

Answer 1

I use NHibernate which is a C# port of Hibernate.

I recently developed an application that had user configurable database connection, so the HIbernate config had to be able to be loaded dynamically. Pretty much that same as what you are trying to do.

The way I made this work was to save the new config to an XML file, then reload the session factory:

1. save new config to a XML pointed to by configFilePath

2. Close the current session

3. re-initialise a new session with saved config file - sessionFactory = new Configuration().Configure(configFilePath).BuildSessionFactory();

Hope this helps
