To build and deploy call mvn package in your project directory and copy the hibernatetutorial.war file into your Tomcat webapps directory.

Note

If you do not have Tomcat installed, download it from http://tomcat.apache.org/ and follow the installation instructions. Our application requires no changes to the standard Tomcat configuration.

Once deployed and Tomcat is running, access the application at http://localhost:8080/ hibernate-tutorial/eventmanager. Make sure you watch the Tomcat log to see Hibernate initialize when the first request hits your servlet (the static initializer in HibernateUtil is called) and to get the detailed output if any exceptions occurs.

1.4. Summary

This tutorial covered the basics of writing a simple standalone Hibernate application and a small web application. More tutorials are available from the Hibernate website [http://hibernate.org].
