Hi BUBI,

I don't think

Quote:

will do it. You will need to include all libs that you use.

In your case you are missing Apache's commons-logging.jar in your class path. If you don't have it at all you might get it from http://commons.apache.org/logging/guide.html

P.S.: It would be much easier to read your code if you'd enclose it in the BBCode Code-Tags. See the buttons below the subject field.

Froestel,
Thanks for your reply.I enclosed the same earlier code in BBCode block as you have said.

The jar files I am using are:

hibernate3.jar

slf4j-api-1.5.2.jar

antlr-2.7.6.jar

commons-collections-3.1.jar

dom4j-1.6.1.jar

javassist-3.4.GA.jar

jta-1.1.jar.

probably you are talking about this commons-collections-3.1.jar.Its already included in my project.Please let me know if you can fix the problem.

Thanks in advance
BUBI..

Code:

SessionFactoryUtil.java

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;


public class SessionFactoryUtil {

private static SessionFactory sessionFactory;

static {
try {
// Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
// sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
Configuration c= new Configuration();
c.configure();
sessionFactory = c.buildSessionFactory();



} catch (Throwable ex) {
// Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}

public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory()
{
return sessionFactory;
}

}


TestPerson.java

package com.sample;

import java.util.List;
import org.hibernate.Query;
import org.hibernate.Session;


public class TestPerson {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Session session = SessionFactoryUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();

Hi BUBI,

No, I wasn't talking about this package, I was explicitly writing commons-logging.jar. You will require to have it in your class path. If it's not there you can get it from the location I mentioned in my previous post.

This library is used by Hibernate to create logging output, i.e. to log files or the console.

Hi BUBI,

looks like there might be problems with your hibernate.cfg.xml in two places (I shortened it a bit):

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC   
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"   
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd"> 
   
<hibernate-configuration> 
<session-factory> 
     ...
     <property name="transaction.factory_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransactionFactory</property> 
       
    ....

      <!-- Enable Hibernate's automatic session context management --> 
      <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property> 
...
   
</session-factory> 
</hibernate-configuration>

The names of both properties I left in the above snippet should start with hibernate. (like all the others do, too). So change these two property elements to look like this

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC   
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"   
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd"> 
   
<hibernate-configuration> 
<session-factory> 
     ...
     <property name="hibernate.transaction.factory_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransactionFactory</property> 
       
    ....

      <!-- Enable Hibernate's automatic session context management --> 
      <property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</property> 
...
   
</session-factory> 
</hibernate-configuration>

That's all I see for now.

Hi Froestel,
Thanks for your kind perusal.I have changed the property in session-factory by adding hibernate as you have said.The changed hibernate.cfg.xml file looks like

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 !DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC   
 "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"   
 "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

 <session-factory>

     <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>  
     <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:MySQL://127.0.0.1:3306/mysql</property>  
     <property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>  
     <property name="hibernate.connection.password"></property>  
     <property name="hibernate.transaction.factory_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransactionFactory</property>  
       
     <!-- Automatic schema creation (begin) === -->       
     <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>  
    
       
     <!-- Simple memory-only cache -->  
     <property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider</property>  
   
      <!-- Enable Hibernate's automatic session context management -->  
      <property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</property>

     <!-- ############################################ -->  
   
   
     <mapping resource="com/sample/Person.hbm.xml"/>  
   
 </session-factory>  
 </hibernate-configuration>  

But still the error remains..It shows..

Hi BUBI,

your stack trace contains:

Quote:

Caused by: org.dom4j.DocumentException: Error on line 2 of document : Content is not allowed in prolog. Nested exception: Content is not allowed in prolog.

As far as I can see there is a "<" sign missing before !DOCTYPE so the DTD should read:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
      "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
      "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
...
</hibernate-configuration>

Froestel

P.S.: If you'd use an IDE, i.e. Eclipse, with the Hibernate Tools (see https://www.hibernate.org/255.html ) installed the editor should provide you with info on errors, esp. sytnax errors. Otherwise you might probably use an XML editor of your choice. The error is an XML-syntax error and this should not make you post in a forum nowadays.

Hi Froestel,
I am so sorry for asking you to fix a syntax error.I should have been aware of that.
Neways after fixing the syntax prolem and all,I am still unable to get the desired output.
The hibernate.cfg.xml looks like....

Hi BUBI,

Hibernate is missing the Code Generation Library cglib. Ensure that you have a cglib-<version-number>.jar in your classpath. It ships with Hibernate (in the lib folder). If it's not there you should be able to get it from SourceForge.

Hi Froestel,

Thank you so much for your reply.It has now got no problem with the SessionFactory.But I found a strange error...

Please help me out to fix the problem.I am actually a beginner in hibernate.Thanks a ton for your earnest support.

Thanking you

Hi,

I cannot see a problem - is there any error notification or stack trace you probably left out? This looks very much like standard log entries of Hibernate - although I've never seen these /*foo*/ thingies. Does this come from your code?

Froestel

P.S.: As a beginner you should at first work yourself through the Hibernate documentation (to be found at http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/core/reference/en/html/). When you are done with that you should be able to solve most of your problems by yourself. You might also get yourself one of those excellent Hibernate books out there and spend a couple of days reading. This should make a lot of things clearer.

Hi,
Thanks for your link to the documentation.

Hi Froestel,
The strange errors ultimately removed...But it was replaced by another errors.

Let me first tell you the jar files I am using are...

mysql.jar
slf4j-api-1.5.2.jar
slf4j-jdk14-1.5.2.jar
hibernate3.jar
dom4j-1.6.1.jar
javassist-3.4.ga.jar
commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
jta-1.1.jar
antlr-2.7.6.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
cglib-2.2.jar.

Now the files are..

Code:

    

///TestPerson.java

The error is quite similar to the previous one with cglib. You are missing a library jar. I guess in the meantime you can easily figure out which one it is.

Please - I cannot spend my time on helping you with issues that are actually less Hibernate than Java related. The above stack trace should give you enough information to solve the problem on your own (or are you new to Java as well?). There are lots of search engines, forums, documentation, books, and much more out there. Find it, use it.

It is your project and you have to deal with it. If you spent a couple of days searching for a solution without any success then it is time to post to a forum. I won't keep on doing all your work. It takes some time to get acquainted with Hibernate and there will be a lot of reading, testing, searching, and so on. I'm not talking about days or weeks here...
