Undecipherable exception reported with incomplete hibernate.cfg.xml
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-3039
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3039
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.2.5
         Environment: hibernate 3.2.5
apache derby 10.3
            Reporter: Matthias Haack
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: hibernate.cfg.xml

While loading the hibernate.cfg.xml file the following log was created:

29.12.2007 20:49:46 org.hibernate.cfg.Environment <clinit>
INFO: Hibernate 3.2.5
29.12.2007 20:49:46 org.hibernate.cfg.Environment <clinit>

29.12.2007 20:49:46 org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration getConfigurationInputStream
INFO: Configuration resource: /hibernate.cfg.xml
Initial SessionFactory creation failed.java.lang.NullPointerException

No hint given what caused the exception. Turned out to be there is no special handling is implemented in class org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration at line 1529.

This happens while calling "new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();" on the attached configuration file; this file if course is not correct (it's a mapping file, not a config file).

Proper error reporting would help the end user.
