I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of days now, so decided to ask the community.

I'm trying to generate hibernate daos by reverse engineering the db using the eclipse 'Hibernate Console'. Below is 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">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/fpr</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">admin</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">admin</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

But every time I'm trying to expand the 'Database' view under the 'Hibernate Console' view, I get the following exception:

An internal error occurred during: "Fetching children of Database".

Does anybody know what this might be??? I have the mysql-connector jar in the classpath, so that's definitely not an issue (that's the only entry I have in the 'configuration' classpath field. From reading online, the ClassNotFoundExceptions are usually due to lack/or unnecessary entries in the classpath field.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Vladimir

any chance you are using Java6 jdbc drivers but running with Java 5?
