I am new to hibernate and facing this new problem i am unaware of.
I have hibernate.properties file that contains all the information related to MySQL JDBC connectivity.
Then I have another properties file that contains following information:

hibernate.connection.datasource=TESTDS
hibernate.show_sql=true
hibernate.connection.provider_class=net.sf.hibernate.connection.C3P0ConnectionProvider
hibernate.c3p0.acquireIncrement=5
hibernate.c3p0.idleConnectionTestPeriod=1200
hibernate.c3p0.maxPoolSize=100
hibernate.c3p0.maxStatements=0
hibernate.c3p0.minPoolSize=1
hibernate.c3p0.initialPoolSize=20

I am creating a SessionFactory as given below:

Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
Properties properties = new Properties();
try {
properties.load(new FileInputStream("Sample.hibernate.properties"));
} catch (IOException e) {

}
cfg = cfg.setProperties(properties);
cfg = cfg.setProperty("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect");
cfg = cfg.addResource("com/sungard/cs/aata/root/pojo/Root.hbm.xml");
cfg = cfg.addResource("com/sungard/cs/aata/tlog/pojo/Tlog.hbm.xml");
SessionFactory sf = cfg.buildSessionFactory();
HibernateTemplate sample = this.createHibernateTemplate(sf);

When i start server i get warning "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The user must supply a JDBC connection".

Can someone help me know what is the solution to this exception?

Thanks in advance,
Ashish

net.sf.hibernate ... that's very old! check the libraries you use are compatible with each other.
