A simple example using Hibernate with an XML configuration to find, save, and update a record.
The jdbc:embedded-database element is used to initialize the test HSQLDB database and
the LocalSessionFactoryBean is using to configure Hibernate. The mappingLocations property
is used to set a list of Hibernate XML mapping files. The Person DAO is configured using Hibernate's session factory.
