Hi, i am a developer from HK, currently the earthquake broken
the connection from HK to US. And let my application out of order,
i am using hibernate3.
After investigation, i found it is the problem of hibernate library, sometimes when i load the context, the mapping resources step
is much slower than normal(there are only 3 tables to map and
the tables do not have any association with others!), when calling
the session.get(), the method will execute forever without return.

So, i want to ask, what is the session.get() execute behind, is there
anything(like dtd) that need to get from other site?
Also, is there any method to identify which point cause the session.get()
execute forever?

Many Thanks!

TT

I'm not developping Hibernate, so what I say must be taken with caution, but it seems to me that no xml is ever accessed after the sessionfactory has been built.

It is always said that the SessionFactory is slow to be built because it has to access every mappings. So I guess this access is only done once at startup and then no more.

About session.get(), I'd advice you to try a debugger like the eclipse's one to try and see what never returns. You could also try and directly send a sql query through the underlying jdbc connection (session.connection()) to see if the same select gives something...

Thank you for your reply.
I have suspect there is database connection problem before, but in my
application, there is other module using direct jdbc connection to the
db, which work out fine.
Let's use a debugger to find out what is attaching there...

As far as DTDs are concerned, if you turn on debug level logging(on org.hibernate.util), it should tell you if the DTDs are loaded locally or over the internet. AFAIK they should be loaded locally, but its something to eliminate out of the equation anyway.
