AnnotationConfiguration does not throw exceptions

Hi,

when an error occurs inside

Code:

sessionFactory = myConf.buildSessionFactory();

where myConf is an AnnotationConfiguration instance, the stack trace is logged (in this case it is an SQLException) but the exception is not thrown by the buildSessionFactory() method so that my application cannot react appropriately to the exception.

The question is: What do I have to do in order to get the exception thrown? Or is this a bug?

I am using Hibernate 3.2.

Remember, it's a RuntimeException that gets generated, so either catch Throwable or catch RuntimeException. Simply catching Exception won't work.

If it's writing to the log file, there's definitely an exception being thrown!
