414 PointsDifference between EntityManagerFactory and SessionFactory?
I am able to get the categories object- EntityManager em = entityFactory.createEntityManager(); Session session = em.unwrap(Session.class); List<Category> categories = session.createCriteria(Category.class).list();
but from
Session session = sessionFactory.openSession(); List<Category> categories = session.createCriteria(Category.class).list();
I am unable to get the data.
When spring boot loads the application, I can see this in console --> Building JPA container EntityManagerFactory for persistence unit 'default'.
But Hibernate Session Factory is no where to be found....
