Hi,

Im running into this issue....

Initial SessionFactory creation failed.java.lang.StackOverflowError

Here is my code:

Configuration cfg = new Configuration().addResource("User.hbm.xml");
SessionFactory sessionFactory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();
Session session = (Session) sessionFactory.openSession();

Does your User object by any chance contain a reference to itself?

public class User {
private long userId = 0 ;
private String firstName = "";
private String lastName = "";
private int age = 0;
private String email = "";

public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public long getUserId() {
return userId;
}
public void setUserId(long userId) {
this.userId = userId;
}
}
