Properties reference for hibernate in persistence.xml

Question

Does anyone know a link, post, book or something else where are explained and nominalized all properties that you need and can use in persistence.xml file?

Answer 1

The JPA 2.0 supported properties (javax.persistence.*) can be found in JPA 2.0 specification.

Vendor-specific properties can be found in appropriate vendor documentation:

• Hibernate properties (hibernate.*)
• EclipseLink properties (eclipselink.*)

Answer 2

Full list of properties, that hibernate uses, you can find in class

org\hibernate\cfg\Environment.java

in Hibernate distribution.

Javadoc here

Answer 3

I think there are actually 2 sources:

• org.hibernate.jpa.AvailableSettings. Cf. javadoc: "Defines the available HEM settings, both JPA-defined as well as Hibernate-specific. NOTE : Does not include {@link org.hibernate.cfg.Environment} values."
• org.hibernate.cfg.Environment
