persistence.xml defines the various aspects related to hibernate like following.

• Persistence Unit − A persistence unit containing all the details. It's name is used to get reference in spring context.

• provider − org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider class will be used as provider.

• Database url and credentials − In properties section, we pass the database related values.
