Name and version of the database you are using:MySQL

The generated SQL (show_sql=true): yes, but no query generated

Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:DEBUG

Could you any one plase shade some lights what I might be doing wrong here?

Thanks & REgards,
Irfan

Why are you bothering with JNDI when you're accessing your SF through HibernateUtil? Just store it as a static... If you want a container managed SF, use the MBean. Or skip all this nonsense and just use EJB3. All you need is a persistence.xml!
