What does this exception really mean? I see this in a sample deployment but the actual changes I make are persisted to the database.

Here is the stack:

14:06:47,852 INFO [STDOUT] 14:06:47,852 ERROR [SessionFactoryImpl] Unable to construct current session context [org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransactionFactory]

Hi,

There is no init() method present in JDBCTransactionFactory class and hence you are getting the below exception.Open JDBCTransactionFactory class present in your hibernate.jar and check if you can see init() method present in it.

Which version of hibernate jar are you refering to?Try finding for this method(init) in another version of hibernate.jar
