Hi,

I am new to Hibernate. I downloaded the hibernate 3.0.5 and followed the steps to run the example that comes with the hibernate installation. I configured the example to run for Oracle 9i database. When I try to run the example by typing "build eg" I get NullPointerException when it tries to create the Sample test Data. I could see that I am able to connect to oracle coz the application created the tables in the Database. Any help regarding this issue is highly appreciated.

Thanks

The following is the stack trace.

Hi Troy,

Thanks a lot. I tried updating my drivers and it worked great.

Thanks once again!
