Configuration settings can be broadly broken down into 3 categories -
- Jakarta Persistence
-
Settings which are standardized by the Jakarta Persistence specification for configuring any persistence provider. These settings are defined by the
jakarta.persistence.namespace - Hibernate
-
Hibernate-specific settings which control various Hibernate behaviors which are extensions to or outside the scope of the Jakarta Persistence specification. These settings are defined by the
hibernate.namespace - Legacy JPA
-
Settings which were standardized by Java Persistence, the legacy version of the Jakarta Persistence specification (prior to version 3.1). These settings are defined by the
javax.persistence.namespace

Applications should strongly consider migrating to the new Jakarta Persistence as support for the legacy Java Persistence will likely be removed at some point. For (legacy) Hibernate settings which have a direct Jakarta Persistence corollary, the Jakarta Persistence
form should be preferred - e.g. |
