Hello. I'm having problems when initializing my application. I'm using Hibernate 2 and HSQLDB (hipersonic db). Things seems to go well but, when it displays the message:

INFO: Use scrollable result sets: true

it stops and does nothing. What it should be? A piece (that might be useful) of the code of the application files comes below. Thanks.

------hibernate.properties-------
hibernate.dialect net.sf.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect
hibernate.connection.driver_class org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
hibernate.connection.username sa
hibernate.connection.password
hibernate.connection.url jdbc:hsqldb:test
hibernate.connection.pool_size 5

-----class mapping------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE
hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd">

<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="Amigo" table="amigos">
<id name="nome" column="nome" type="string">
<generator class="assigned"/>
</id>
<property name="endereco" type="string"/>
<property name="telefone" column="fone" type="string"/>
<property name="celular" column="cel" type="string"/>
<property name="email" type="string"/>
<property name="nascimento" type="date"/>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

-----java class for initializing--------
public AmigoDAO() throws Exception {
Configuration cfg = new Configuration().addFile("Amigo.hbm.xml");
SessionFactory factory = cfg.buildSessionFactory(); // IT STOPS HERE
}

Set log and try-catch the buildSessionFactory.

Ok, I did it. With LOG4J I could isolate the problem and, for some reason I don't understand, it stops and keeps waiting indefinetely at the point bellow:

[file "SessionFactoryImpl.java" at hibernate source files directory]

class constructor SessionFactoryImpl(...) partial code:
[...]

//Persisters:

log.info("persisters loop");
Iterator iter;

classPersisters = new HashMap();
classPersistersByName = new HashMap();
iter = cfg.getClassMappings();
while ( iter.hasNext() ) {
PersistentClass model = (PersistentClass) iter.next();
ClassPersister cp = PersisterFactory.create(model, this); // problem
classPersisters.put( model.getPersistentClass(), cp );
classPersistersByName.put( model.getName(), cp );
}

[...]

What it could be? I did rebuild the entire hibernate2.jar file, but nothing changed.

Try using your debugger and step through the code to find where it locks up.

And check your mapping, should be something wrong in it.

I'd like to thank you both, who tried to help me. I finally discovered the error and, as almost always happens with begginers, it was only some missing get and set methods. Anyway, I think hibernate could throw some message warning it. Well, that's it.

See you!
