i am a new user to hibernate.

i tried the example provide by hibernate and it work fine.

however, when i try to integrate w/ hibernate, it gives me exception on
Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
but it gives me a exception: org.hibernate.HibernateException: No TransactionManagerLookup specified

i tried to use
Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession()
then it gives me an exception on
session.getTransaction().commit();

i have the same code as the example, but why it does still give me an exception.

what's the difference between jdbc and jta?

thanks for any help.

I had the same probleme than your.

The reason is very simple, when you use "getCurrentSession()" , tha indicate to your application server (JBoss, WebSphere, Oc4J, and so on) instance a Hibernate session. But, without a Server up, you don´t do any thing with getCurrentSession(), and it will allow you see a exception like you posted.

Ok, when you are developing without application server, try to use openSession(). In the moment when you put you applicacion to a server, you can try to use getCurrentSession().

request for comments.
