i have read about the add of dom4 jar in classpath and i already did it but really dont do anything...so i guess something is wrong with my configuration cause the session doesnt seem to initialize...

Version of hibernate 3.2

This is the code between SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory(); and sessionn.save(testing);
------------------------------
sessionn = sessionFactory.openSession();
} 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);
}
//Create new instance of Contact and set values in it by reading them from form object
System.out.println("Inserting Record");

This is the Full result :
Initial SessionFactory creation failed.java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/DocumentException
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at Test.main(Test.java:69)
