在hibernate 5.3.1中，你可以这样做:

ServiceRegistry standardRegistry = 
                new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().configure().build();

Metadata sources = new MetadataSources(standardRegistry).addAnnotatedClass(MyEntity.class).getMetadataBuilder().build();

SessionFactory sf = sources.buildSessionFactory();

代码已验证可在Hibernate 4.3.0中工作。注意，您可以删除XML文件名参数，或者提供您自己的路径。这与这里的其他帖子类似(但错别字更正了)，但这一篇是正确的。

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry;    


Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.configure("/com/rtw/test/hiber/hibernate.cfg.xml");
ServiceRegistry  serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).build();        
    sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);

在最新的hibernate 4.3.0版本中创建SessionFactory对象的更好方法如下:

Configuration configuration = new Configuration().configure();
StandardServiceRegistryBuilder builder = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().
applySettings(configuration.getProperties());
SessionFactory factory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(builder.build());

在Hibernate 4.2.2中

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistryBuilder;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
    Configuration configuration = new Configuration()
            .configure();

    ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(
            configuration.getProperties()).buildServiceRegistry();

    SessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);

    Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();

    Transaction transaction = session.beginTransaction();

    Users users = new Users();

    ... ...

    session.save(users);

    transaction.commit();

    session.close();

    sessionFactory.close();

    }
}

只需导入以下包，

import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
