[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HBX-890) Invalid database connection properties causes Eclipse to crash

[Christian Bauer (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-890?page=comments#action_26187 ] 

Christian Bauer commented on HBX-890:
-------------------------------------

I've seen this come up a few times now. In a regular application, developers should use JDBC to check the connection before building a SessionFactory. Since this is double work, and might be required anyway for this case, we might want to introduce a Configuration.testConnection() method.

> In this case the hibernate.connection.url was the issue.  I had been using "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:<port>/<db>", but that caused Eclipse to crash because that just hangs.
> The proper syntax, for the way I've exposed my postgres installation, is one of the following:
> 1)  jdbc:postgresql://<hostname>:<port>/<db>
> 2) jdbc:postgresql://<ip_address>:<port>/<db>
> If there was an explicit timeout for the connection attempt, and then a graceful handling of that timeout, Eclipse wouldn't have to die.
