A Bug?

hibernate 2.1.2

I had the following configuration file ...

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration
    PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD//EN"
    "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-2.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>
   <session-factory>
      <!-- datasource connection properties -->
      <property name="hibernate.dialect">net.sf.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect</property>
      <property name="hibernate.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@...</property>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.username">username</property>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.password">secret</property>
      <!-- dialect for Oracle 9 -->
      
      <property name="hibernate.show_sql">true</property>
      <property name="use_outer_join">true</property>
      <!-- property name="hibernate.use_outer_join">true</property -->
   
      <mapping resource="Organisation.hbm.xml"/>
      <mapping resource="Budget.hbm.xml"/>
      <mapping resource="CostElements.hbm.xml"/>
   </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

The error I was getting is ...

[DEBUG] DriverManagerConnectionProvider - -opening new JDBC connection
[WARN] SettingsFactory - -Could not obtain connection metadata <java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver>java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver

After lots of confusion I dicided to put a hibernate.properties

Code:

hibernate.dialect                   = net.sf.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect
hibernate.connection.driver_class   = oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
hibernate.connection.url            = jdbc:oracle:thin:@...
hibernate.connection.username       = username
hibernate.connection.password       = secret

and it WORKED.

Basically both have the same information.

Just curious about it ... is it a bug or I have any problem in my hibernate.cfg.xml file.

be carefull when talking about "bug" ....
i think the bug is in your dev environment since most of people are using hibernate.cfg.xml....

extra space probably

Sorry if I have hurt by the word Bug ... but I tried almost everything ... and finally decided to go for teh properties file.

One more thing ... the same hibernate.cfg.xml file is working fine if I use DataSource instead.

As per extra space is concerned ... I did checked ... it wasn't.

In your XML configuration file, you use "hibernate.driver_class" as the property name. It should be "hibernate.connection.driver_class." I've had similar problems. It would be nice if Hibernate used a distinct XML tag or attribute for each property, or if it at least reported on unrecognized properties that it finds in the configuration file.
