I am getting the following error. Can anyone help me ?
I am using DB2 database.

hibernate.connection.driver_class=COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:db2:xxx
hibernate.connection.username=xxx
hibernate.connection.password=xxx
hibernate.dialect=cirrus.hibernate.sql.DB2Dialect
