HI All,

I am using Hibernate with JSF, and my backing bean contains method
public String add() {

if(title!=null){

Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
//currentSession();
session.beginTransaction();
Event theEvent = new Event();
theEvent.setTitle(title);
theEvent.setDate(date);
session.save(theEvent);
session.getTransaction().commit();
return "success";
}
else {
return "failure";
}
}

and my HibernateUtil class contain

public class HibernateUtil {
private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;
static {
try {
// Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
} catch (Throwable ex) {
// Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
}
public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return sessionFactory;
}
}

when i run my jsf application, i am getting exception:
javax.servlet.ServletException: #{GetNameBean.validated}: javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

i dont know why.

please clarify me.

regards
Gopal

Can you post, using code tags, the full exception that buildSessionFactory() is throwing?

As a matter of interest, why are you wrapping Errors and RuntimeExceptions in an ExeptionInInitializerError? It may be valid, but you're wrapping unchecked exceptions and JVM exceptions unnecessarily; those exceptions would propagate correctly without being wrapped in another Error.
