I am getting exception while running my ant task to generate the java code from my hbm files. I am using a pojo.vm which is developed as per velocity template and the same was working very well with Hibernate 2.x version. Its throwing the exception when I am trying to upgrade it to 3.1.3 version. Anyone has faced this( I dont see any topic in the forum regarding this.) Please help. Thanks

Hibernate version:
3.1.3
Mapping documents:
In my build.xml, I am using the following as per new hibernate version:-

<target name="hbm2java"
description="generates Java source files from hbm XML files">

<taskdef name="Hbm2JavaExporterTask"
classname="org.hibernate.tool.ant.Hbm2JavaExporterTask"
classpathref="compile.classpath"/>
<hibernatetool destdir="${hibernate.gensrc}">
<!-- <configuration configurationfile="conf/hibernate.cfg.xml"> -->
<configuration propertyfile="conf/hibernate.properties">
<fileset dir="${hibernate.xml}" >
<include name="**/*.hbm.xml"/>
</fileset>
</configuration>
<hbm2java jdk5="false"/>
<hbmtemplate templateprefix="conf/" template="conf/pojo.vm" filepattern="{class-name}.java" />
</hibernatetool>
</target>


Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():
