title: SpringBoot: How to stop all JPA auto-load
body: <p>I have a web app that is Hibernate 4.3.7 and Spring Boot 1.2.0.RELEASE.
  I do NOT do JPA.  I use straight Hibernate SessionFactory, hbm.xmls, etc.</p>
  
  <p>For some reason, Spring Boot keeps trying to auto-load JPA stuff.  I created an alias to my Spring LocalSessionFactory called "entityManagerFactory" and that shut-up one error.  Now, it is blowing up again on this.  How can I completely SHUT down all JPA auto-load stuff in Spring Boot?</p>
