Naming Service and Hibernate

Hi all.
I'm trying to develop a standalone application using Java Swing and interfacing Oracle with Hibernate.
Now I have a problem. How can I use name service for accessing to SessionFactory? I thought about using JNDI, but i have problems to configure InitialContext.
First of all, JNDI is a right solution for my problem?
And then how can I configure InitialContext?
Thanks for your replies

Code:

Context initialCntx = new InitialContext();
SessionFactory sessionFactory = (SessionFactory)initialCntx.lookup("java:comp/env/hibernate/SampleSessionFactory");
Session hibernateSess = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();

Thanks for your answer. But the problem still remains.
My trouble is before.
I've seen in some tutorial on the web that i must configure hibernate.cfg.xml
with these parameters:

Code:

<session-factory name="a name">
        <property name="hibernate.jndi.url"></property>
        <property name="hibernate.jndi.class"></property>

But which values can i insert for "hibernate.jndi.url" and "hibernate.jndi.class"?
I don't understand. Please help me!

we posted the exact same thing, only mine is implemented in java code and yours is implemented in an xml configuration file to be loaded by Spring or some other container.

Use the jndi name (url) as the url.

Optionally, you may define the initialContext class with that hibernate.jndi.class term. You don't have to.

Then in your program when you call Configuration.buildSessionFactory() your session factory will use that jndi connection to obtain database connections.
