Hello, ive started to work with Hibernate some Weeks ago and i noticed that in the offical Documentation the deprecated method for creating a SessionFactory is used. It would be nice if someone can edit it becouse it is really bad -.- I found some other blogs which shows how to create an SessionFactory without buildSessionFactory().
