Hibernate version:
3.0.5

I have a SessionFactoryObjectFactory deployed in a jboss server (4.0). When I try to access it from an application outside the container (via JNDI lookup) I get a null SessionFactory. Here's the outside container application code:

--------------------------------
Properties jndiProps = new Properties();
jndiProps.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"org.jboss.naming.NamingContextFactory");
jndiProps.setProperty(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,
"org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
jndiProps.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://192.168.1.3:1100/");
/*my JDNI server is at port 1100, this is ok!*/
try {
context = new InitialContext(jndiProps);
} catch (NamingException e) {
//error
}

(SessionFactory) sf = (SessionFactory) context.lookup("java:/hibernate/SessionFactory");
System.out.println(sf); /*this code prints "null" here*/
-------------------------------------
I also have the following messages in the application console:
17:21:41,437 DEBUG SessionFactoryObjectFactory:39 - initializing class SessionFactoryObjectFactory
17:21:41,453 DEBUG SessionFactoryObjectFactory:69 - JNDI lookup: hibernate/SessionFactory

hai,
did u tried keeping the Hibernate.properties file in the server/default/conf directory of the JBoss..
..phani

Well that is farther than I got. I have set up the same thing via a JBoss har file and I am trying to access it via a JNDI look up that is exactly the same as yours (port 1099 though).

All I get is a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: hibernate not bound

Any Ideas?

JBoss 4.0.2
Hibernate 3.0.5

Thanks,
ses

I fixed the lookup but now I am getting the same problem as you, Null SessionFactory.

Anyone else having this problem?
