I am trying to connect to database using hibernate in a seam project. I have put the following code in hibernate.cfg.xml com.mysql.jdbc.Driver jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb root 10 true org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect update <!-- Mapping files --> I have a test program which uses the DSN to insert a record. Code goes like this: SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory(); session =sessionFactory.openSession(); Contact contact = new Contact(); contact.setId(3); contact.setFirstName("Deepak"); contact.setLastName("Kumar"); contact.setEmail(&quot;deepak_38(a)yahoo.com&quot;); session.save(contact); when I run this program , database gets connected but it throws a strange exception ( ehCache exception ) in the first line of test program. I tried various possible options. But no luck. I have been trying this from past 1 week. Please help me. Please let me know if anyone needs more information. regards, Laxman View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3960468#...
