Hi,

I am working on a web project that will be deployed to a Tomcat 5 server. The persistence is done with Hibernate. I want to use also tomcat’s built in connection pooling (DBCP), so I created a context configuration for my project in server.xml, including a JNDI entry for the DBCP data source.

When creating the config file for Hibernate, I can set the JNDI name that I configured before, but I need to provide also an InitialContextFactory class. After searching the web I reached the conclusion that this class must be:

org.apache.catalina.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory

if my webapp is going to run inside Tomcat.

The problem is that this does not work… when loading a page that acesses data I get:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory
at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1340)
at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1189)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:302)
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:219)
at com.sun.naming.internal.VersionHelper12.loadClass(VersionHelper12.java:42)
at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(NamingManager.java:649)

Can anyone help here? Am I doing something wrong? Should I be using some other InitialContextFactory class?

Any help would be very much appreaciated.

Thanks for your attention,

Javier

try set hibernate.connection.datasource parametar in your JNDI name
Hibernate will choose default

Javier,
Your file should look something like this:

<hibernate-configuration>

    <session-factory>

        <property name="connection.datasource">java:comp/env/jdbc/quickstart</property>
        <property name="show_sql">false</property>
        <property name="dialect">net.sf.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</property>

        <!-- Mapping files -->
        <mapping resource="Cat.hbm.xml"/>

    </session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

No need for InitialContextFactory that I’m aware of.

This works, thanks.
