Hi, I'm new to Hibernate (and truth be told a Java novice as well). I'm trying to use Hibernate to connect to an existing database. I'm having trouble with DAO (tablenameHome.java files) that were generated automatically with the Hibernate Code generator in the Eclipse plugin from jboss.

Specifically, I don't seem to be able to create a session and get the tablenameHome.java to be able to see it.

Are there any examples online that specifically relate to using these objects?

Thanks in advance.

You JNDI configuration is wrong.

You need to configure the JNDI context with proper db location etc.. the configuration of jndi is specific to each server.. check the server doc for specifics of this configuration.

You are correct. Thank you.
