SettingsFactory hides SQLException ---------------------------------- Key: HHH-6690 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6690 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.6.7 Environment: All Reporter: Lionel van den Berg When a SessionFactory is created using the Configuration.buildSessionFactory() method a failed connection attempt due to invalid user credentials, an invalid password or some other similar cause fails silently as the SQLException thrown by the ConnectionProvider is caught at line 104 of SettingsFactory, logged and no further information is provided to the calling class. This makes it impossible for an application to determine what went wrong and to provide feedback in a user-driven environment. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
