Hi iantimothy. Thanks for your answer. I am creating the sessionfactory object like you comment. My problem is that I want that the sessionFactory object could be created when I start the tomcat server, because when I create the sessionFactory when I am going to make a query on my application, it spent a lot of time. I see that the example web application (starter kit) creates the sessionFactory when I start the tomcat server. That is what I want. Thanks.
