For this example we will define one bean called Regions and an interface called Bean . Region will be the pojo class that contains the mapping for HR schema regions table The  @Entity  annotation is used to mark this class as an Entity bean.

I will use HR sample database that comes with OracleXE.

The you will have to create a field called "app-config.xml" in which you will define the settings for spring and hibernate. Over this app-config file first configure the properties as follo...
