Hello,

Apologies for my previous post, there was an error I believe.

I just got my first hibernate application running, but I am getting some warnings about not being able to bind to JNDI. This is a standalone application, so I do not have a JNDI source. The warnings are:

02:02:23,691 INFO NamingHelper:26 - JNDI InitialContext properties:{}
02:02:23,701 WARN SessionFactoryObjectFactory:98 - Could not bind factory to JNDI javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial

Is this some harmless warning, or something that needs to be fixed by me?

Also, about jta.jar: even though in my hibernate.cfg.xml I have
<property name="hibernate.transaction.factory_class">
net.sf.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransactionFactory</property>

My application still requires jta.jar.

I am using hibernate synchronizer for eclipse plugin. Initially it created:

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

which then I turned into JDBCTransaction factory thinking that it was a JTA releated problem, but it did not solve my problem.

Greetings,
-O.B.

Hello,
I was able to solve the problem by some help from #hibernate.
The problem was in hibernate.cfg.xml where
<session-factory name="SessionFactory">
deleting the name="" solves the puzzle.
