Hi folks,
On the loading of my application i want to test the establishement of connection to the db.
For this, i opened a session to see if i could connect to the db but the problem is that there is no thrown exception when there is there is a bad connection string.
Is there any method in hibernate that throw an exception for connection failing? or there is another way to test the connection?
Thx,
Amine.

Hibernate version: 3.1

Maybe you want to check with one more call to see if connection is established.

Remember to close the connection in a finally block. You might want to check the API at:

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/api/org/hibernate/Session.html#connection()

which explains whether you have to close the connection or not after use.
