The frmawork we are using constitutes:
Tomcat4.1.8
Hibernate 2.1
Quick 4
JDK 1.4.1
Cocoon 2

The flow is like this :

We have a Registries.hbm.xml file . This file is used to specify the tables and field names of the respective tables along with filed data types and relationship between tables. Also we have Java classes w.r.t each table .These have constructors for fileds ,get set methods for retrieving the fields values from database and any specific functions written to query the database. The Registries.hbm.xml is used for mapping the tables with the respective Java classes. This file gets invoked when tomcat is started.

Now the problem statement is:

I have a view which constitutes 600 fields by joining 15 tables.So when I add the property descriptors for this view to the Registries.hbm.xml file, tomcat hangs when it is started at the point when mapping is done for this view.

How do I go about it?

Can you post the log file section that shows Tomcat starting Hibernate and then stopping?

600 fields across 15 tables does not look like a good design for O/R mapping. The pattern I have seen in the past where this approach is used is to get a "query of everything" for search purposes. Hibernate can do better than that.
