Hi,
in my portlet I'm trying to access the db over hibernate. Unfortunately
this doesn't seem to be very reliable (at least how I configured it...).
After googeling a little I found out that the "Hibernate Reference
Documentation v3.0.5" isn't quite up to date and that you don't have to
use Tomcat's JNDI-bound JDBC connections anymore [2].
My problem is now that it still doesn't work in a reliable way. The
symptoms are that if I access the portlet for the first time the db
query is (mostly) successful. After that I get NullPointerExceptions. To
make sure it's not my hibernate code, I tried the same query in
standalone application (without Tomcat/Pluto). It worked without any
problems.
Does anybody have a clue what's going wrong here? How did you get
hibernate to work reliable within your portlet? Any hints or suggestions
are highly appreciated!
