Hello,
I have this error Sometimes in my application. I use Hibernate 3 with Tomcat 5.
I have the error when I create the SessionFactory.
Below there is the detail.

Thanks,
Francesco

Hibernate version: 3.0

Mapping documents: hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd

Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():
// ******** start create session hibernate ***********
try {
// Create the SessionFactory
sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure()
.buildSessionFactory();
} catch (HibernateException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException("Configuration problem: "
+ ex.getMessage(), ex);
}
