Configuring Hibernate with HikariCP

You can use the org.hibernate.hikaricp.internal.HikariCPConnectionProvider which is shipped by hibernate-hikaricp package.

You can install it as Maven dependency (please don't forget to update the version number):

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-hikaricp</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.10.Final</version>
</dependency>

And configure it in hibernate.properties:

`hibernate.connection.provider_class=org.hibernate.hikaricp.internal.HikariCPConnectionProvider`

Please note: As of Hibernate 4.3.6 you should no longer use com.zaxxer.hikari.hibernate.HikariConnectionProvider (see: https://github.com/brettwooldridge/HikariCP/wiki/Hibernate4)

HikariCP, as of version 1.2.6, now supports Hibernate 4.x explicitly with a ConnectionProvider. See the new wiki documentation for details.
