Updating from Hibernate 3.6 to Hibernate 4.0

Question

I want to know the key differences I need to take care of if I want to switch to Hibernate 4.0 from Hibernate 3.6 ? Does Hibernate 4.0 support hbm.xml or do I need to use JPA for mapping?

Hibernate 4 still supports ORM mapping via XML (hbm.xml). As suggested by the mapping section in this basic hibernate 4 tutorial.

@Ranna glad I could help. You may run into some small issues, but I'm guessing their not going to completely break their interface. – Kevin Bowersox Dec 01 '12 at 10:05
