我编辑了上面batbaatar创建的方法，使它接受Configuration对象作为参数:

    public static SessionFactory createSessionFactory(Configuration configuration) {
        serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(
                configuration.getProperties()).build();
        factory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
        return factory;
    }

在主课程中，我做了:

    private static SessionFactory factory;
    private static Configuration configuration 
    ...      
    configuration = new Configuration();
    configuration.configure().addAnnotatedClass(Employee.class);
    // Other configurations, then           
    factory = createSessionFactory(configuration);

如果你正在使用Hibernate 5.2及以上版本，那么你可以使用这个:

  private static StandardServiceRegistry registry;
  private static SessionFactory sessionFactory;

  public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
    if (sessionFactory == null) {
      try {
        // Creating a registry
        registry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().configure("hibernate.cfg.xml").build();

        // Create the MetadataSources
        MetadataSources sources = new MetadataSources(registry);

        // Create the Metadata
        Metadata metadata = sources.getMetadataBuilder().build();

        // Create SessionFactory
        sessionFactory = metadata.getSessionFactoryBuilder().build();

      } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        if (registry != null) {
          StandardServiceRegistryBuilder.destroy(registry);
        }
      }
    }
    return sessionFactory;
  }

  //To shut down
 public static void shutdown() {
    if (registry != null) {
      StandardServiceRegistryBuilder.destroy(registry);
    }
  }

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();

    }
}

or

public class Hbutil {

    private static SessionFactory sessionFactory;
    private static ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry;

    private static SessionFactory configureSessionFactory() throws HibernateException {
        Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
        configuration.configure();
        serviceRegistry = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).buildServiceRegistry();        
        sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
        return sessionFactory;
    }

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return configureSessionFactory();

    }
}

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();

这里有很多hibernate核心框架中已弃用的api。

我们已经创建了会话工厂，如下所示:

SessionFactory SessionFactory = new Configuration().configure(). buildessionfactory ();

方法buildSessionFactory在hibernate 4发行版中已弃用，并被新的API所取代。如果你使用hibernate 4.3.0及以上版本，你的代码必须是:

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

从4.3.0开始，类ServiceRegistryBuilder被StandardServiceRegistryBuilder取代。看起来在5.0版本中会有很多变化。但是，对于已弃用的api和适合使用的替代方案仍然没有太多的明确说明。每一个增量版本都会出现更多弃用的API，它们都是为了5.0版本的核心框架进行微调。
