I am using below code to get sessionFactory object but I am getting an exception. How can I solve this exception.

public class NewHibernateUtil {

private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;

static {
try {
// Create the SessionFactory from standard (hibernate.cfg.xml)
// config file.
sessionFactory =new AnnotationConfiguration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
//new Configuration().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;
}
}

Can you share your stack trace of the exception.

Please share you stack trace and hibernate.cfg.xml file

As the file you have shared is used by every one and we can not get what error it could be.
