I used the hibernate new session factory class generated, and it’s not working. I have these two calls:

MMHibernateSessionFactoryAnnotations.setConfigFile(PostEC.hibernatePropertiesFilePath);
            Session theSess = MMHibernateSessionFactoryAnnotations.getSession();

which result in the app just exiting; no output, no debug, nothing. Just dies. I am definitely getting a valid path to a hibernate.cfg.xml file from PostEC.hibernatePropertsFilePath so it should be setting the path, then the next line should cause it to create a new session factory with the right properties. That isn’t happening, and I’d like to know why. Thanks.

It looks to me that you have to have the configuration file, hibernate.cfg.xml in your classpath. Period. I removed mine from there, and I get this output, where I have a valid hibernate.cfg.xml file on my file system at /

The factory thinks the hibernate config file is at: /hibernate.cfg.xml
Sep 08 04:33:14 (Configuration.java:1426) INFO org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration – configuring from resource: /hibernate.cfg.xml
Sep 08 04:33:14 (Configuration.java:1403) INFO org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration – Configuration resource: /hibernate.cfg.xml

Why doesn’t this simple thing work? Why do I absolutely have to have this configuration file on my classpath in order for hibernate to not blow up? I cannot believe that this would be such a difficult thing? Surely, somebody else has need to load the configuration file from someplace else other than within their app? HIbernate and Java == faiil

wkhatch,
Can you give some more information?
1. What are your installation details? You can get them from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.
2. What is the version of hibernate that you are using?
3.

PostEC.hibernatePropertiesFilePath

Is this a custom class that you created?
Can you verify if the path returned in the above statement is a valid path of your config file?
4.

MMHibernateSessionFactoryAnnotations
