Package org.hibernate.boot.registry

Defines service registry contracts a program may use for configuring Hibernate.

Service registries are hierarchical. That is, a child registry may "hide" or "override" services from its parent registries. This allows for granular construction of registries as services become available.

  1. org.hibernate.boot.registry.BootstrapServiceRegistry is the base service registry, and may be constructed via org.hibernate.boot.registry.BootstrapServiceRegistryBuilder if customization is needed. For non-customized usage, these APIs may be bypassed completely.

  2. The next level in a standard registry setup is the org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistry, which may be constructed using org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder if customization is needed. The builder optionally accepts s org.hibernate.boot.registry.BootstrapServiceRegistry to use as a base. If none is provided, a default instance is produced, assuming sensible defaults in Java SE and EE environments, particularly with respect to classloading.
