[jboss-user] [Persistence, JBoss/CMP, Hibernate, Database] - Making a client-side JPA connection

For testing purpose I am trying to make a JPA connection to our database. I get an error saying: Unable to configure EntityManagerFactory with no further explanation! I think I have tried everything in my persistence file and now finally I give up. My persistence.xml (only the persistence-unit): <persistence-unit name="Test" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL"> | <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider> | <class>dme.dm.device.Operation</class> | <class>dme.dm.device.Action</class> | <properties> | <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" | value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/> | <property name="hibernate.connection.username" | value="jboss"/> | <property name="hibernate.connection.password" | value="banan123"/> | <property name="hibernate.connection.url" | value="jdbc:mysql://172.16.12.15/dm_tos"/> | <property name="hibernate.dialect" | value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect"/> | <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" | value="update"/> | </properties> | </persistence-unit> And I make the call like this: public class OperationTest { | private EntityManager entityManager; | | @Before | public void setUp() { | EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("Test"); | entityManager = emf.createEntityManager(); | } | } When I run this code I get the exception: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: [PersistenceUnit: Test] Unable to configure EntityManagerFactory Does anyone have an idea of what could be wrong?
