I'm using Hibernate in JBoss but my application can't find hibernate.cfg.xml file that i put in javasource of my war. Why I can solve this problem?

Not sure why you are looking for a cfg file. It is usually configured using JMX or JCA. See http://hibernate.bluemars.net/66.html. If your only using servlets then I would expect it to be placed in WEB-INF directory.

Hi,

I'm having the same problem, and I _believe_ that I've configured the JCA MBean for the HibernateFactory correctly (I can find the MBean details in my JBoss jmx-console and they look sensible)

Any thoughts on why, when I make the following call -

SessionFactory sessionFactory =
new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

I get a the following exception ?

17:01:22,566 ERROR [HibernateServiceEJB] HibernateException thrown for cat[uk.co.mfl.app.motabilityOnlineAgreements.domain.gc.Cat@1d16ecf]
net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found

I'm running JBoss 3.2.0 with Tomcat 4.1.24 and Hibernate 2.0.3

Thanks for any help,
Gino

The session factory is created by the JMX MBean and thus it uses the deployment descriptor to configure the session factory at deployment time. It places the SessionFactory into JNDI hence you do not need to create the factory. All you do is look it up from JNDI and then use the session as normal.

... obvious really...

Thanks for the info,
Gino

This access method ([color=red]JNDI[/color]) it's works fine to me if i access from web-application, in the same JVM (Jboss 3.2.2), but i can't access it if i tried from a standalone application.
I got this exception:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: hibernate not bound
at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:495)
at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:503)

at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.lookup(NamingServer.java:253)
at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:528)

This is the jndi.properties file (locate it in CLASSPATH):

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099

that I am making bad?

Thanks in advance.

Your jndi.properties looks correct. I have never tried accessing the SessionFactory directly like this and I don't think the session factory can be used this way. I have accessed the data store through a SLSB service layer which is the way I would recommend you do it.

I set the JNDI name (and access it via JNDI) in Tomcat, not JBOSS, using:

<session-factory name="dgf:/hibernate/SessionFactory">
.....
</session-factory>

Hibernate seems to initalize it and creat the JNDI context for me with any name="..." that I make up, automatically.

Your still using tomcat JNDI from within Tomcat not remotely - That is the issue, eg, SessionFactory is not remoteable.
