I have followed all the instructions in the tomcat quickstart. I am trying to connect to a sql server db . When I kick off the the connection I get this output:

INFO: Configured SessionFactory: null

I copied the sessionFqactory example but execution stops at the following line:
System.out.println("before");

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

System.out.println("after");

So "before" gets printed out but "after" does not. Is there anything obvious that I am missing?
Thanks

Is it finding your hibernate.cfg.xml file? I would suggest going to http://caveatemptor.hibernate.org/ and look at this class: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/h ... &view=auto

Yes it is finding the hibernate.cfg.xml as it outputs info about the datasource which is in this file.
