I generated, using hibernate tools 3.1.0 b5 my POJOs and the DAO code.

I really want to give these DAOs a shot, because as far as I understand, I don't need to implement a HibernateUtil class anymore.

Wether I use tomcat or JBoss, I always get a "Could not locate SessionFactory in JNDI" error in the console.

The following line triggers the exception :

return (SessionFactory) new InitialContext()
.lookup("SessionFactory");

I have the following in my Hibernate.cfg.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<mapping resource="ch/infolearn/cargo/Company.hbm.xml" />
<mapping resource="ch/infolearn/cargo/Boat.hbm.xml" />
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

I guess it's something to configure in Tomcat, but I've looked everywhere and just cant find the answer.

See below for more info, and thanks in advance if someone can help.

Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:

the dao's currently is tied into running in a jndi enabled environment - we should change that.
