Properties are name-value pairs. Both the name and the value are Java Strings.

Here you see the hibernate configuration example:

  <component>

    <key>org.exoplatform.services.database.HibernateService</key>

    <type>org.exoplatform.services.database.impl.HibernateServiceImpl</type>

    <init-params>

      <properties-param>

        <name>hibernate.properties</name>

        <description>Default Hibernate Service</description>

        <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="false"/>

        <property name="hibernate.cglib.use_reflection_optimizer" value="true"/>

        <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:file:../temp/data/exodb"/>

        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"/>

...

      </properties-param>

    </init-params>

  </component>

In the org.exoplatform.services.database.impl.HibernateServiceImpl you will find that the name "hibernate.properties" of the properties-param is used to access the properties.

package org.exoplatform.services.database.impl;


public class HibernateServiceImpl implements HibernateService, ComponentRequestLifecycle {

  public HibernateServiceImpl(InitParams initParams, CacheService cacheService) {

    PropertiesParam param = initParams.getPropertiesParam("hibernate.properties");

...

}
