Small correction at the JDBC URL it is jdbc:odbc:test.

When, I ran following code it woked fine for me.

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:odbc:test","scott","tiger");

Below is my configuration file.

Any idea to this problem?
I suspecting, problem could be Driver class ot dialect but not sure.

It worked, when I changed my URL to jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:actualdbname from jdbc:odbc:test. Where test is the JDBC-ODBC configuration from control center .....
I am not sure whether Hibernet supports Type-1 driver, which requires client configuration on client machine.

Thanks
