Allow StandardServiceRegistryBuilder.configure() if the hibernate.cfg.xml is not found using the prior ways to set it up

hibCfg = System.getProperty("HIBERNATE_CFG","/hibernate.cfg.xml");

Does it make sense to do the following instead?

                if (hibCfg == null) {
                    hibCfg = System.getProperty("HIBERNATE_CFG", "/hibernate.cfg.xml");
                    if (getClass().getClassLoader()
                                  .getResource(hibCfg) != null) {
                        ssrb.configure(hibCfg);
                    }
                    else {
                        ssrb.configure();
                    }
                }

Let it find the default hibernate.cfg.xml that can be anywhere on the classpath.

My hibernate.cfg.xml resides in the cfg folder and cfg folder is on my classpath.

jPOS-EE expects the template file hibernate.cfg.xml at the top of the classpath. In order to override the default with a custom hibernate.cfg.xml one needs to call DB db = new DB ("path/to/hibernate.cfg.xml") or configure HIBERNATE_CFG property (that can be done from code using System.setProperty("HIBERNATE_CFG", "path/to/hibernate.cfg.xml") once from your application.

That said, we'll think about an easy way to override it using a convention name (that could be cfg/hibernate.cfg.xml)

I'm thinking along the lines of:

• If there's a cfg/hibernate.cfg.xml in the filesystem and HIBERNATE_CFG environment variable is not present, we use that file
• otherwise, we keep the existing behavior

Would that work for you @chhil ?

I am currently leaning towards using

System.setProperty("HIBERNATE_CFG", "path/to/hibernate.cfg.xml")

We have a qbean that sets various system and security properties, will add the HIBERNATE_CFG to it.
