[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-4490) NPE in SessionFactory if an SQL Exception is thrown when retrieving db metadata

NPE in SessionFactory if an SQL Exception is thrown when retrieving db metadata ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4490 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4490 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.3.2 Environment: Hibernate 3.3.2.GA Oracle 10G Reporter: Coquentin Pierre Attachments: stacktrace.txt If an sql exception occurs when hibernate tries to get metadata in org.hibernate.cfg.SessionFactory.buildSettings(Properties props) (line 113) then it's logged and nothing else is done, so the dialect is not computed and leads to an NPE line 151. It's not reproductible with hibernate 3.2.6 as the code changed.
