I was making a hello world with hibernate and the program throws the exception:

WARNING: Could not bind factory to JNDI
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial

If someone could help me, I'll be glad
thanks

if you are authoring J2SE application, jndi binding for session factory isn't useful in most cases. Just avoid a specifing session factory name property in your hibernate.cfg.xml
