| Item | Description |
|---|---|

Hibernate descriptors of the type hibernate.cfg.xml in the specified
locations.
For JPA you can create the files persistence.xml and orm.xml. |

| Data Source Mappings | Use this section to map session factories or persistence units to the
data sources configured in your workspace.
Mapping to data sources works differently for Hibernate and JPA facets:
In the Data Source column, double-click a line and select the desired data source from the drop-down list. |
| Validate Model on Compilation | Select this check box to perform validation. |
| Default JPA Provider |
This control is available for JPA facet only. Select the JPA provider that will be used to generate mappings. The possible options are: Hibernate, OpenJPA, and TopLink. If a provider is not specified, all the supported providers are used. |
