Im sure that this has been visited before but I could not find an answer in the forum.

I am configuring hibernate using a hibernate.cfg.xml file that lives at the top of the classes. It is finding it okay because it is able to add the mappings for my classes. But then it states that no dialect is set and so is defaulting to GenericDialect.

I am running a JUnit test in ANT...

[junit] (cfg.Environment 403 ) Hibernate 2.0.3
[junit] (cfg.Environment 432 ) hibernate.properties not found
[junit] (cfg.Environment 452 ) using CGLIB reflection optimizer

[junit] (connection.DriverManagerConnectionProvider 41 ) Hibernate connection pool size: 5
[junit] (connection.DriverManagerConnectionProvider 56 ) JDBC Driver class not found:

My hibernate.cfg.xml file is...

<hibernate-configuration>

<!-- a SessionFactory instance listed as /jndi/name -->
<session-factory
name="java:comp/env/hibernate/SessionFactory">

<!-- properties -->
<!--property name="connection.datasource">java:comp/env/jdbc/antbuildtest</property-->
<property name="dialect">net.sf.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property>
<property name="connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property>
<property name="connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://NODENAME</property>
<property name="connection.username">sa</property>
<property name="connection.password"></property>

<property name="show_sql">false</property>
<property name="transaction.factory_class">net.sf.hibernate.transaction.JTATransactionFactory</property>
<property name="jta.UserTransaction">java:comp/UserTransaction</property>

<!-- mapping files -->
<mapping resource="org/hsf/elex/core/Contest.hbm.xml"/>

</session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>


This is very similar to the hibernate.cfg.xml file specified in the documentation.

Any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks.

No relies?
I have now changed to using a hibernate.properties file and have moved beyond the dialect problem to a different problem...

[junit] (impl.SessionFactoryImpl 132 ) building session factory
[junit] (dialect.Dialect 83 ) Using dialect: net.sf.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect
[junit] (connection.DriverManagerConnectionProvider 41 ) Hibernate connection pool size: 5
[junit] (connection.DriverManagerConnectionProvider 56 ) JDBC Driver class not found:

hibernate.properties file...

hibernate.connection.driver_class=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:hsqldb:hsql:\test\antbuildtest
hibernate.connection.username=sa
hibernate.connection.password=
hibernate.connection.pool_size=5
hibernate.statement_cache.size=10
hibernate.dialect=net.sf.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect

Is it because I am running hibernate as part of a JUnit test in ANT?

Your having class path problems - so yes is the answer.
