Sample hibernate configuration file

In this example the following points highlighted

The document type declaration is used by the XML parser to validate this document against the Hibernate configuration DTD.
The optional name attribute is equivalent to the property hibernate.session_factory_name and used for JNDI binding of the SessionFactory, discussed in the next section.
Hibernate properties may be specified without the hibernate prefix. Property names and values are otherwise identical to programmatic configuration properties.
Mapping documents may be specified as application resources or even as hardcoded filenames.
