Hi,

I am new to Hibernate and my prog is simple deletion from the db.
Hibernate vertionis 3.1
my DB is mysql

My Question is, can i do the deletion without using any getter and setter method? I gave my id value wihtin the same prog. where i create the session using a variable.

Eventmanager.java
----------------------------
package events;
import org.hibernate.Session;

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.*;

import util.HibernateUtil;

public class EventManager
{

public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventManager mgr = new EventManager();

if (args[0].equals("delete"))
{
mgr.createAndStoreEvent(1);

}


HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().close();
}

private void createAndStoreEvent(int id)
{

Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();

session.beginTransaction();
int EVENT_ID=id;
Event theEvent = (Event) session.get(Event.class, new Long(EVENT_ID));

session.delete(theEvent);

session.getTransaction().commit();
}


}

Event.java
--------------
package events;
import java.util.Date;

public class Event
{
private int id;
private Date date;
private String title;

public Event()
{}

public int getId() {
return id;
}

private void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}


util\HibernateUtil.java
-------------------------------
package util;

import org.hibernate.*;
import org.hibernate.cfg.*;

public class HibernateUtil {

private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;

static {
try {
// Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
} catch (Throwable ex) {
// Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
}

public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return sessionFactory;
}

}

The Exception is:Exception in thread main
Initial SessionFactory crreation is failed.

Pls.... Help.

Thanks

Aren't you already doing the delete without any get or set methods? Load the objet then call session.delete on it.. no get or set..

Your exception is to do with creating the session factory, not deleting. In order for us to diagnose it, you'll have to post the exception, and all its nested exceptions. Please post them using code tags (code button above the edit window).
