Hi, thanks for your response.
The problem i'm having is with the following section of code
This is just a
test that i'm running in order to learn Hibernate. Instead of using the 'hibernate.hbm.xml' file, i'm using the 'hibernate.properties' to set my parameters. When i run the test, i get the error that i specified in my orginal post. However, if i run the code by placing a java.sql.Connection object as a parameter of sessions.openSession, the code works.
My question is this: shouldn't the parameters of the 'hibernate.properties' be good enough to set up a connection to the database when i create a Configuration object?
