Hi,

Many thanks for reading this. I've used Hibernate successfully on a few projects but i'm having trouble running it in the setup described below.
The problem is that Hibernate simply won't create the database tables when i call buildSessionFactory().

I'm using HiberateUtil exactly as described in Hibernate In Action and i'm setting:

<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>

in my hibernate.cfg.xml file. I know its picking up this file b/c i get all kinds of errors if i move it.

I'm using a Weblogic datasource. I know its valid, since i can test it successfully from the Admin Console.

Any advice? Does anyone know why Hibernate wouldn't try to export the database schema? I'm totally stumped. It doesn't even look like its trying. Maybe there's something obvious i'm missing? Something that overrides hbm2ddl??? I included the stacktrace, tho it doesn't shed any light. Note the lack of export schema messages. And notice the first Hibernate log info is a SELECT. Its trying to do a SELECT on a table that doesn't exist thus the null pointer ex.

Environment

OS: RedHat EL4
Container: WebLogic 9.2 / Hibernate 3.1.3
Driver: MySQL Connector 5 ( i also tried 3.0, 3.1 )
Database: MySQL 5 ( I also tried 4.1 ). Database is on a seperate windows machine.

Not positive which of my tweaks solved this but i think it was moving my hibernate jars from myapp/APP-INF/lib up to domains/wl_server/lib
