[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-5852) C3P0 connection pool tester is not called if buildSessionFactory failed due to wrong password

C3P0 connection pool tester is not called if buildSessionFactory failed due to wrong password --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5852 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5852 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Environment: I used Hibernate+C3P0. Here is a my config: setProperty("hibernate.connection.driver_class", "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); setProperty("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect"); setProperty("hibernate.connection.url", "jdbc:mysql://localhost:" + getDBPort() + "/emplatcore"); setProperty("hibernate.connection.username", Network.getInstance() .getMASDBAccountCred().getUserName()); setProperty("hibernate.connection.password", Network.getInstance() .getMASDBAccountCred().getPassword()); setProperty("hibernate.show_sql", "false"); setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.aquire_increment", Integer.toString(getConnectionAcquireIncrement())); setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period", Integer.toString(getIdleTestPeriod())); setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.timeout", Integer.toString(getIdleTimeout())); setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.max_size", Integer.toString(getMaxConnections())); setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.max_statements", Integer.toString(getStatementCache())); setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.min_size", Integer.toString(getInitialPoolSize())); setProperty( "c3p0.connectionTesterClassName", "com.nortelnetworks.mcp.ne.mediaserver.db.dao.hibernate.c3p0.MCPHibernateConnectionTester"); setProperty("c3p0.acquireRetryAttempts", Integer.toString(getAcquireRetryAttempts())); setProperty("c3p0.acquireRetryDelay", Long.toString(getAcquireRetryDelay())); Reporter: Andrey Dryahlov Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Priority: Critical Original Estimate: 8h Remaining Estimate: 8h I tried to check if connect is up or down to MySQL using C3P0 connection pool tester. It works if password is correct. But password can be changed and I need to let user know that there is no connection to MySQL. I want to understand why buildSessionFactory() does not start connection tester.
