Divyang Dalal [http://community.jboss.org/people/dbd1979] created the discussion "JBoss JNDI - Hibernate sessionfactory" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/607044#607044 -------------------------------------------------------------- I have an EJB.ear file which contains a jar for Hibernate related code. Once EJB.ear gets deployed into JBoss, I am sending a transaction to session bean which invokes Hibernate code and loads hibernate.cfg.xml. However lookup of hibernate session factory throws a not found error. I listed the JNDI list using jmx-console and i dont see Hibernate session factory registered in JNDI. Should the hibernate cfg.xml be deployed in a different manner (possibly outside of jar) for hibernate session factory to be registered in JNDI ?  Is it not possible to register objects in JNDI from within application code/configuration after JBoss has started ? 12:29:14,064 INFO  [Configuration] Configuration resource: managed-hibernate.cfg.xml 12:29:14,095 INFO  [Configuration] Reading mappings from resource : IteratorInfo.hbm.xml 12:29:15,220 INFO  [HbmBinder] Mapping class: com.hibernate.test.IteratorInfo -> ITERATORINFO 12:29:15,392 INFO  [Configuration] Configured SessionFactory: java:/HibernatorSessionFactory hibernate.cfg.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC -//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN         http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd> <hibernate-configuration>        <session-factory name="java:/HibernatorSessionFactory">         <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect</property>         <property name="show_sql">true</property>         <property name="hibernate.connection.datasource">java:/OracleDS</property> Code to lookup:         InitialContext ctx   = new InitialContext();             sessionFactory  = (SessionFactory)ctx.lookup("java:/HibernatorSessionFactory");   Error: 12:49:35,322 ERROR [STDERR] javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: java:/HibernatorSessionFactory not bound 12:49:35,322 ERROR [STDERR]     at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:771) 12:49:35,322 ERROR [STDERR]     at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:779) 12:49:35,322 ERROR [STDERR]     at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getObject(NamingServer.java:785) 12:49:35,322 ERROR [STDERR]     at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.lookup(NamingServer.java:443) 12:49:35,322 ERROR [STDERR]     at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:726) 12:49:35,322 ERROR [STDERR]     at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:686) 12:49:35,322 ERROR [STDERR]     at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:392) -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/607044#607044] Start a new discussion in JNDI and Naming at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
