connection url for sql server

hibernate, java

Solution

Here you go:

      <property name = "hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect"/>
      <property name = "hibernate.connection.driver_class" value = "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"/>
      <property name = "hibernate.connection.url" value = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=cust;instanceName=SQLEXPRESS;"/>
      <property name = "hibernate.connection.username" value = "sa"/>
      <property name = "hibernate.connection.password" value = ""/>
      <property name = "hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>

Problem

I downloaded microsfot's jdbc driver, and I am not sure what the connection.url should be? ``` <property name="connection.driver_class">org.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc</property> <property name="connection.url">jdbc:</property> .. <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect</property> ``` i configured sqlexpress to work via tcpip and a static port already.
