title: Is persistence.xml requied when working with Spring and Hibernate?
body: <p>I am using a project with Spring JPA and Hibernate. Most of the things in <em>persistence.xml</em> can be specified in Spring <em>applicationContext.xml</em> file.</p>
  
  <p>So is the <em>persistence.xml</em> required anymore?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
