Ugh.... nevermind. Banged my head some more, read some more Hibernate docs so i could wrap my head around it, and finally figured it out. For all the other newbies out there, searching for the answers - the hibernate.cfg.xml is read when the sessionFactory is created only when you use the configure() method. As reference for others, my session is created with something like this...
public static final ThreadLocal session = new ThreadLocal(); | private static final Configuration cfg = new Configuration(); | private static SessionFactory sf; | | try { | sf = cfg.configure().buildSessionFactory(); | } | catch(Exception e) { | System.err.println("%%%% Error Creating SessionFactory %%%%"); | e.printStackTrace(); | } | s = sf.openSession(); | session.set(s); | and my hibernate.cfg.xml file looks like this... | <hibernate-configuration> | <session-factory> | <property name="connection.datasource">java:PortalDS</property> | <property name="session.factory_name">java:portal/SessionFactory</property> | <property name="dialect">net.sf.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property> | <property name="cache.provider_class">net.sf.hibernate.cache.TreeCacheProvider</property> | | <property name="show_sql">false</property> | | <mapping resource="com/example/MyClass.hbm.xml"/> | </session-factory> | </hibernate-configuration> I'm sure that's not all perfect, but it got me where i wanted to go today. ... .joe View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3868086#3868086 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3868086 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
