how to solve faces.el.EvaluationException

[gopal kishan]

Hi ,

I want to use JSF with hibernate, i configured everything.

In my backing bean i define a method :
public String add() {
if(title!=null){

Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
//currentSession();
session.beginTransaction();
Event theEvent = new Event();
theEvent.setTitle(title);
theEvent.setDate(date);
session.save(theEvent);
session.getTransaction().commit();
return "success";
}
else {
return "failure";

}
}

i configured in faces-config.xml also.when i run the application , i am getting ,

javax.servlet.ServletException: #{GetNameBean.validated}: javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

please let me know what is the error, i have getter setter, and mapping file everything.

thanks in advance
Kishan

You must implement JSF helper class with Hibernate Bean for JSF layer.
