[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-6617) Remove deprecation from Configuration until after new metamodel completely in place

Vladimir Nicolici commented on HHH-6617:
----------------------------------------

Can you also remove the deprecation from the Configuration.buildSessionFactory() method? It's very annoying, and I lost a few hours searching for the proper way to do it, and I still didn't find it. This, for example, doesn't work:

ServiceRegistryBuilder serviceRegistryBuilder = new ServiceRegistryBuilder();
serviceRegistryBuilder.configure("hibernate-connection.cfg.xml");
ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = serviceRegistryBuilder.buildServiceRegistry();
Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
SessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);

It gives this error:

WARN: HHH000181: No appropriate connection provider encountered, assuming application will be supplying connections
Exception in thread "main" org.hibernate.HibernateException: Connection cannot be null when 'hibernate.dialect' not set

Anyway, it's even worse when I try to use the deprecated way, I'm not even able to read the configuration:

Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.configure("hibernate-connection.cfg.xml");

gives this error:

ERROR: HHH000197: Error parsing XML: hibernate-connection.cfg.xml(3) Document is invalid: no grammar found.
Mar 30, 2012 4:19:32 PM org.hibernate.internal.util.xml.XMLHelper$ErrorLogger error

Even a nearly empty configuration file, like below, causes the same error:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<hibernate-configuration
        xmlns="http://www.hibernate.org/xsd/hibernate-configuration"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.hibernate.org/xsd/hibernate-configuration hibernate-configuration-4.0.xsd"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
        
  <session-factory>

  </session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

Not sure if relevant, but http://www.hibernate.org/xsd/hibernate-configuration does not really exist, attempting to access it using a browser gives this:

Sorry, the page you're looking for cannot be found.
Please use the Search box in the header to check that the information isn't located somewhere else. 

Even the example configuration file from http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/4.1/devguide/en-US/html/ch01.html#d5e83

gives me the same error about invalid XML grammar.

Anyway, my main issue is that the documentation still recommends the use of the deprecated method, and no alternate method is documented (or I can't find it), see:

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/4.1/quickstart/en-US/html/ch02.html#hibernate-gsg-tutorial-basic-test

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/4.1/manual/en-US/html_single/#configuration-sessionfactory

Other people have the same issue:

Please note that I have about 3 years experience in using hibernate in various projects, and never had such issues until trying to use the latest version in a new project, so do not dismiss this comment as a newbie question.

I'm using Hibernate 4.1.1 in a simple "hello world" project, JDK 1.7.0_03, Eclipse Indigo SR2.
