Près d'une SessionFactory dans Hibernate 4.3

Je me suis mise à niveau de mon Hibernation pour la dernière version. Avec mon vieux HibernateUtil.java je n'avais pas de problèmes, mais lorsque la mise à niveau, de la SessionFactory ne semble pas près plus.

C'est mon nouveau HibernateUtil.java classe:

import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;

public class HibernateUtil {

    private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    static {
        try {
            Configuration configuration = new Configuration().configure();
            StandardServiceRegistryBuilder builder = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties());
            sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(builder.build());
        } catch (HibernateException ex) {
            System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }

    public static void closeSessionFactory() {
        sessionFactory.close();
    }
}

C'est mon vieux HibernateUtil.java classe:

import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

public class HibernateUtil {

    private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    static {
        try {
            //Create the SessionFactory from standard (hibernate.cfg.xml) 
            //config file.
            sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
        } catch (Throwable ex) {
            //Log the exception. 
            System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }

    public static void closeSessionFactory() {
        sessionFactory.close();
    }
}

C'est mon hibernate.cfg.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

        <!-- Use the thread as the context -->

        <!-- Use these files for mapping configuration -->
        <mapping resource="test/Person.hbm.xml"/>
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Code dans lequel j'ai créer la session:

public class Helper {

    Session session = null;

    public Helper() {
        this.session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
    }

    public List getPeople(int id) {
       ...
    }
}

Méthode principale:

public static void main(String args[]) {
    Logger log = Logger.getLogger("org.hibernate");
    log.setLevel(Level.WARNING);

    Helper helper = new Helper();
    List<Person> people = helper.getPeople(1);

    for (int i = 0; i < people.size(); i++) {
        System.out.println("people " + i + ": " + people.get(i).getID());
    }

    HibernateUtil.closeSessionFactory();
}
