Dear All,
I'm running Hibernate 3.2.4 GA inside a web application on tomcat
6.0.14. Recently (the last two months), a LinkageError has been thrown
during Hibernate Factory initialization about 50% of the time (almost
always alternating between bug-no bug when restarting tomcat many times
in a row). Could someone please help me find the problem? I am not a
Hibernate expert. Here's the stack trace from tomcat's log:

The code that causes this error is in my hibernate factory
implementation:
/**
* Rebuild hibernate session factory
*/
public void rebuildSessionFactory()
{
try
{
configuration
.configure(config
.getProperty(CommonNames.RESOURCE_LOCATOR.PROPERTY.DAO_FACTORY_CONFIG_FILE_NAME));
sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory();
<----------------- crash happens right here!!
}
catch (Exception e)
{
logger.error("%%%% Error Creating SessionFactory %%%%");
logger.error(ExceptionUtil.getStackTraceAsString(e));
}
catch (ExceptionInInitializerError e)
{
logger.error("%%%% Error Creating SessionFactory %%%%");
logger.error(ExceptionUtil.getStackTraceAsString(e));
}
}
The same happened with tomcat 6.0.13. My plan is to upgrade to
Hibernate 3.2.5 GA, but I don't know what else to do. I have a
complicated configuration of jars in my web app which I suppressed here
which might cause this -- please let me know what else you need to know
about my config.
Thank you so much in advance,
Oren
