import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class FirstExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Session session = null;

try{
System.out.println("started");
// This step will read hibernate.cfg.xml and prepare hibernate for use
SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
System.out.println("read hibernate.cfg.xml");
session =sessionFactory.openSession();
System.out.println("openSession");
//Create new instance of Contact and set values in it by reading them from form object
System.out.println("Inserting Record");
Contact contact = new Contact();
contact.setId(3);
contact.setFirstName("Ran");
contact.setLastName("ba");
contact.setEmail("[email protected]");
session.save(contact);
System.out.println("Done");
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}finally{
// Actual contact insertion will happen at this step
session.flush();
session.close();

}

}
}

I need help because this is the first hibernate program i am trying. I am trying but not able to find error.

Please help me

It looks like the oracle jdbc driver isn't in your classpath. Are you sure that ojdbc14.jar is in your classpath?
