Hi expert,

For weeks, I have been trying to get the jndi working in tomcat for hibernate to work but without avail.

Here's the error message :

Caused by: org.hibernate.engine.jndi.JndiException: Unable to lookup JNDI name [java:comp/env/jdbc/hi5"/>]

I'd like to know if there is a problem using tomcat with hibernate.

The latest find is I got this information from :
https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-8818

and it says :

It would appear that, starting somewhere in 4.3.0.Beta5, 4.3.0.CR1, or 4.3.0.CR2, Hibernate stopped being able to resolve JNDI DataSource resources in Tomcat. This makes Hibernate 4.3.0.Final completely unusable, meaning this is a blocking issue. Until this is fixed, I will have to downgrade to 4.3.0.Beta4.

So, please let me know if I can't use tomcat at all cos it's been too long I have been working on this problem.

Tks.

Hibernate 4 is no longer supported. If you can replicate it with Hibernate 5.2 and provide a replicating test case, then we could try to provide a fix for the new version.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to replicte a test case. The fact is that I can't even get the connection going so left alone the test case, even if I know how to right.

Anyway, I'd like to know if I need to install JBoss Tools inside IDE for JPA to work in hibernate ?

No. Just use Maven to set up the project and it will work on any IDE.
