Hello, good afternoon.

I followed the tutorial here
http://www.hibernate.org/66.html

and one question still remains: how do I instantiate a SessionFactory in my code?

I failed a few times, but here goes my last try:



My jboss datasource works fine, and I deployed the ear, that contains the sar, jars, war etc, without getting any error messages.

Thanks a lot!

Forgot to post the exceptions:



And another one telling me that it couldn

Make sure the hibernate.cfg.xml file is in your classpath for your application.

oh, even with all the other configuration files, hibernate.cfg.xml is still necessary?

thanks for replying :D

No the hibernate.cfg.xml is not needed any more.
If you get an error that the cfg file is missing then you should make sure that you are not using something like sessionFactoryMap.get(configFileName).
If you are using the same code like the webpage you are pointing to then you should take a look at the web-console of jboss, there you should see the bounded hibernate mbean and it's jndi name. May be a type error inside jboss-service.xml.

Kaneda, you are superestimating my intelligence hehe my problem is *very* basic: in the tutorial, there is no code example showing how to get a reference to a SessionFactory object.

Could you please post it for me?

Thanks a lot :D

public static final ThreadLocal session = new ThreadLocal();

public static Session currentSession()
throws NamingException, HibernateException {
Session s = (Session) session.get();
if (s == null) {
SessionFactory sf = (SessionFactory) new InitialContext().lookup("java:/HibernateTicketsystem");
s = sf.openSession();
session.set(s);
}
return s;
}

public static void closeSession() throws HibernateException {
Session s = (Session) session.get();
session.set(null);
if (s != null) s.close();
}

Here we go. :)

BTW Exchange "java:/HibernateTicketsystem" with the JNDI name being defined in your jboss-service.xml.

Thanks a *LOT* Kaneda :D :D :D
