Hibernate.properties vs hibernate.cfg.xml

Question

What is the priority order between hibernate.properties and hibernate.cfg.xml?

For what I know, hibernate.cfg.xml (if exists in the path to the application classes) overrides hibernate.properties. Is my assumption correct?

thanks

From the documentation:

An alternative approach to customization is to specify the full configuration in a file called hibernate.cfg.xml. This file can be used as a replacement for the hibernate.properties file or , if both are present, to override properties.
