Hello all !

I'm using Hibernate 3.2 / Struts 1.3.5 / Eclipse 3.2 and MySQL 5.0.27-community

My application uses Annotations and this have been set in the HibernatePlugin
URL url = HibernatePlugin.class.getResource(path);
factory = new AnnotationConfiguration().configure(url).buildSessionFactory();
servlet.getServletContext().setAttribute(Constant.SESSION_FACTORY, factory);


Problem is I am getting the exception when forwarding to s Strut action.

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
