The critical settings are ##connection.datasource## (with JNDI name like ##java:/comp/env/jdbc/XWikiDS##) and the dialect class for your DB vendor. Do not comment out <mapping resource="..."/> elements, hibernate needs them. (You should leave the provider_class unset, since Xwiki's implementation doesn't handle container-managed data sources).
