JPA persistence xml 中报错的写法：

<property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8" />

正确的写法：

<property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8" />

注意有些时候，hibernate的某些版本，不支持value属性，需要写成这样的形式：

<property name="hibernate.connection.url" > jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8</property>

在xml文件中有以下几类字符要进行转义替换：

<	<	小于号
>	>	大于号
&	&	和
'	'	单引号
"	"	双引号
