As of my understanding its throwing exception as i have not set the dialect property. But i have set it in my hibernate.cft.xm. file.

Can anyone tell where exactly i need to set the dialect property?

it would be of great help.

With Thanks and Regards
Seenu

You have it set in the hibernate.cfg.xml? Well, I suppose hibernate it's not finding it because of this:


I think it's looking for the dialect in hibernate.properties.

Try this on hibernate.properties:


Of course, put your correct dialect.

:)

you are running the examples? there is a hibernate.properties file in there somewhere - it needs to be in the classpath .
