After I insert a new record I get

INFO: no JNDI name configured

But this, as INFO implies, isn't causing a problem. I am just curious as to what this is referring to.

Thanks.

You didn't set a JNDI name for the SessionFactory, see the documentation.

Well, In my hibernate.cfg.xml I have the following line:



Is this not the same thing? The only part I can find about binding a JNDI name in the docs is when it talks about the Hibernate Datasource Properties. BTW, I have read the Hibernate Reference Documentation. But if I am missing something in the documentation maybe you could specify which part of the documentation you are referring to.

Thanks.

Most likely. he is referring to this part of the documentation.

Yeah, I read that. But also notice it doesn't say how to do what it suggest doing. It would appear to me that this is something set in the hibernate.properties file however, I am not using one. So this is why it is unlcear to me what Christian and the documentation are talking about.

Thanks for the info though.

In section 3.8 of the manual, please notice the line :


Hibernate SessionFactory would be bound to the specified JNDI name. This is useful when Hibernate is used within a container.

I could'nt get this working well though. :(

Please see these FAQ entries.

Well the message and the documentation pointed at state it pretty clearly, I think. But just to reiterate (since I have nothing better to do):

The Hibernate SessionFactory has the ability to bind itself into JNDI so that the application can later reference it from there. In order to do so, one would set the "hibernate.session_factory_name" config property.

P.S., in case you did not know/realize: every config option available in the properties file is also available in the xml config via the <property/> element. This one even has a shortcut: <session-factory name="wherever/in/the/hell/you/want/this/to/show/up/in/jndi">

Ok, all clear now. Thanks.
