只需导入以下包，

import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

道理很简单:JBoss文档并不是100%维护得很好。按照JavaDoc的说法:buildSessionFactory(ServiceRegistry ServiceRegistry)。

是的，它被弃用了。用下面的代码替换你的SessionFactory:

在Hibernate 4.0, 4.1, 4.2

private static SessionFactory sessionFactory;
private static ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry;

public static SessionFactory createSessionFactory() {
    Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
    configuration.configure();
    ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(
            configuration.getProperties()). buildServiceRegistry();
    sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
    return sessionFactory;
}

更新:

在Hibernate 4.3中，ServiceRegistryBuilder已弃用。请使用以下语句。

serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(
            configuration.getProperties()).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();

    }
}

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());

如果有人更新到5.1，这是它是如何工作的

StandardServiceRegistry registry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().configure().build();
                MetadataSources sources = new MetadataSources(registry);
                Metadata metadata = sources.getMetadataBuilder().build();
                sessionFactory = metadata.getSessionFactoryBuilder().build();

而不是hibernate 4.3中的下面

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