Hi,

I am trying to write a simple Hibernate code.
I am getting the following exception:

javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial
at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(Unknown Source)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(Unknown Source)

at com.sample.employee.LoadEmployees.main(LoadEmployees.java:9)
May 10, 2007 9:46:31 PM org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaUpdate execute




Following is my source code:

public class LoadEmployees
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
SessionFactory factory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
Session session = factory.openSession();
session.beginTransaction();
Employee emp = new Employee();
emp.setEmployeeId(1);
emp.setEmployeeName("Balaji");
session.save(emp);
session.getTransaction().commit();
session.close();
}
}


Following is my hibernate config file:

<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory name="TweSessionFactory">
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@zeus1dev:1521:zeusdev</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">olga_twe48_lease</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">olga_twe48_lease</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.pool_size">10</property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
<mapping resource="Employee.hbm.xml"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>


Following is my hbm file

<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="com.sample.employee.Employee" table="EMPLOYEE_DETAILS">
<id name="employeeId" type="long" column="EMPLOYEE_ID" >
<generator class="assigned"/>
</id>

<property name="employeeName">
<column name="EMPLOYEE_NAME" />
</property>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>


Any of you have any idea of what the exception is about.

Thanks,
Balaji

Do you need to bind the SessionFactory to JNDI?

If not remove the name attribute from session-factory element. It should work.

Thanks. That did work.
