Hibernate version: 3.2.5

Name and version of the database you are using: MySQL 5.0.45

Please explain me in how to use JNDI as a data source provider if I use JBoss as an application server with Hibernate application. Please explain with a hibernate.cfg.xml file example and also what all do we have to do in JBoss application server. I tried with a simple example but it says that data source not found.. Please Help me !!! :(

Two things and config files you have to deploy:

1) in the directory "deploy" of your JBoss server you define the datasource by a file named "xxxxxx-ds.xml". It looks something like

-- read the JBoss docs about datasources!

2) if you have an EJB/JPA application, then create a directory named "META-INF" in the root classpath. There, you deploy the hibernate configuration file named "persistence.xml". It looks something like this:

-- read the Hibernate documentation.

Then: - sit back: and you will see: it works!

Well, it's a great idea to bind a Hibernate Session to you JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) server. This way, rather than having to maintain the Session yourself, the JNDI server will, and that resource can then be accessed by any resource that has access and the rights to do a JNDI lookup.

Here you can see it in a sample hibernate.cfg.xml file.

This was loosely stolen from Chapter 3 of the Hibernate documentation. Look it up for more details:

Free Hibernate Documentation for People to Use to Learn Things About Hibernate

I tried mapping with hibernate.cfg.xml like this only , but it said that datasource not found. What could be the cause of this error. I had a file by the name of MySQL-ds.xml in JBoss\server\default\deploy. Please do help me.

You should apply us with more infos:
- Stacktrace

- what kind of application do you have? EJB? Simple Web-App?

Hi All,
The code is as follows :

code:


try {
System.out.println("Hi....");
SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
System.out.println("After Hi....");
session = sessionFactory.openSession();

System.out.println("Inserting Record");

Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();

Contact contact = new Contact();
// contact.setId(7);
contact.setFirstName("Neel");
contact.setLastName("Bhargava");
contact.setEmail("neel_bhargava@gmail.com");

Address address = new Address();
address.setAddress1("Flat No. 59");
address.setAddress2("Rajouri Apartments");
address.setCity("New Delhi");
address.setZipcode(110064);

contact.setHomeAddress(address);

session.save(contact);

tx.commit();

System.out.println("Done");

} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
} finally {
session.flush();
session.close();
}



hibernate.cfg.xml

code:



<hibernate-configuration>

<session-factory>

<property name="hibernate.connection.datasource">java:MySqlDS</property>
<property name="hibernate.jndi.url"></property>
<property name="hibernate.jndi.class"></property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username"></property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password"></property>

<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="format_sql">true</property>

<!-- Show and print nice SQL on stdout. -->
<!-- <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property> -->
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>

<!-- List of XML Mapping files -->
<mapping resource="contact.hbm.xml"/>
<!-- <mapping resource="address.hbm.xml"/> -->

</session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>




Exception which occurs is :

code:


Hi....
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.hibernate.cfg.Environment).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
Could not find datasource
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.example.jndi.SaveExample.main(SaveExample.java:50)



Its gives exception in session.flush(); statement.

mysql-ds.xml contents

code:


<datasources>
<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>MySqlDS</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jbossdb</connection-url>

-->

<!-- corresponding type-mapping in the standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml -->
<metadata>
<type-mapping>mySQL</type-mapping>
</metadata>
</local-tx-datasource>
</datasources>




mysql-ds.xml is in deploy directory of JBoss. and JBoss shows

quote:
09:09:43,661 INFO [ConnectionFactoryBindingService] Bound ConnectionManager 'jboss.jca:service=DataSourceBinding,name=MySqlDS' to JNDI name 'java:MySqlDS'



Please help. !!! Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Siddharath,


See if the Below works for u.
Me too using JNDI with mysql in hibernate.
It is working.

Siddharth,

I was having some issues setting up my datasource as well. I am using oracle but having the same issue as you. I finally got it to work with the following hibernate config


I am not sure at this point but I think the name in the session-factory tag is required for this thing to work correctly.

I hope this helps.
