Hibernate version: 2.1.6

I have a "hibernate.cfg.xml" file with some default connection properties. But if I try to override them in my application the changes will not take effect.

Excerpt from the configuration file:
[...]
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">rxot</property>
[...]

Try to override:
[...]
Configuration configuration = new Configuration().configure();
configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.username", "root");
hibernateSessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory();
[...]

If I try to connect hibernate raises a connection error. If I use the correct username "root" already in the configuration file the connection succeeds.

What am I missing?

I'm very sorry. My error was my own fault I initialized the session again at an other point. :-(
