[hibernate-users] DB Connection Timeout

Hi, I've searched the web and read through a lot of documentation, but I can't seem to find out how to do what I think should be a very simple task. I want to specify how long hibernate will wait before it returns from a DB connection attempt. I'm trying to test my code to ensure that it behaves correctly when the DB is down. But testing takes forever because every time I run the code, it takes about a minute to timeout and throw the "no connection" exception. I know there has to be a way (programmatically (and also via the config file)) to tell hibernate to only wait, say, 5 seconds before throwing the exception. Any help you could provide me would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Davison -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - J.
