I apologise for posting it wrong. It is
Configuration cfg = new Configuration().configure();
I tried running it as a standalone program and still getting the following stack trace:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.hibernate.test.Runner.update(Runner.java:49)
at com.hibernate.test.Runner.main(Runner.java:19)
The code is below:
package com.hibernate.test;
import net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException;
import net.sf.hibernate.MappingException;
import net.sf.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import net.sf.hibernate.Session;
import net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import com.hibernate.beans.*;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class Runner
{
public Runner()
{
}
public static void main(
String[] args)
{
Runner run = new Runner();
run.update("ULT5005D","ULT5000");
}
/**

*/
public void update(String desc,String header)
{
Session session = null;
try
{
session = createSession();
Product prod = new Product();
prod.setProductDesc(desc);
prod.setProductName(header);
//add
session.beginTransaction();
session.saveOrUpdate(prod);
session.connection().commit();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace(System.out);
}
finally
{
try
{
session.close();
}
catch(HibernateException e)
{
System.out.println("trying to close " + e.toString());
}
}
}
/**

*/
public Session createSession() throws MappingException,HibernateException
{
Configuration cfg = new Configuration().configure();
cfg.addClass(com.hibernate.beans.Product.class);
SessionFactory sessions = cfg.buildSessionFactory();
return sessions.openSession();
}
}
The line that is throwing NullPointerException is Configuration initialization. I tried using Environment Class to get init properties, both hibernate.properties and hibernate.cfg.xml are in the classpath, it gives me system properties and not hibernate parameters. I have no idea what could have gone wrong, but by looking at hibernate Configuration source code I think that it is not reading initial parameters.
Thanks for your help.
