Dear Hibernate users,

I've got a really weird Hibernate problem and I'm hoping that one of you has any ideas on how I could solve it.

I'm using Hibernate 3.2.6, MySQL Server 5.0.51a and Sun Java System Application Server 9.1.01 with NetBeans 5.5.1

The problem is that I can't connect to the database. When I try to do any kind of database operation I get these exceptions:


I can also add that this is a web application, that I'm using hbm.xml files and c3p0 as connection pool.

What's weird about this problem is that everything has worked earlier and since then I haven't changed a single thing in the application!

What I have done is worked on another Hibernate application (not web but Java desktop app.) which uses another database with the same MySQL Server and the same NetBeans version. In this application I tried to autogenerate the database tables from the hbm.xml files using hbm2ddl, which didn't work. Only 2 out of 4 tables were generated and I couldn't see anything wrong with the mapping files. (It was possible, though, to save objects to the tables that were generated.)

I'm thinking that the problems with the web application might have something to do with the database generation I tried to do with the desktop application. I know this sounds really strange but I can't find any other way of explaining it.

Anyway, the question is what I can do to make it work again. I would really appreciate any kind of advice on this matter.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Ylva
