I've set up my hibernate from looking at the info on this site and after going through multiple iterations with different errors I'm finally able to get hibernate to see the database and try to insert data. Two underscores are being inserted between my schema and table.

Insert statment looks like

Hibernate: insert into __TABLE(......)

error looks like

java.sql.BatchUpdateException: Table 'SCHEMA.__TABLE' doesn't exist

I would imagine this is some kinda of configuration issues, but I'm not sure. Anyone run across this .

I'm using the latest hibernate jars.. 3.2.6
fedora 8 Linux
Mysql 5
java 1.7.0

Incase anyone else has this problem. I can't point to the exact jar file, but it was a problem with jar files in my web-inf/lib folder. I solved the problem by deleting all the jars in the folder and pulling the lib folder from the hibernate jar into my project. Worked like a charm after that.
