JNDI Look up returns null on Hibernate session factory

[nxbalas]

I am trying to use Hibernate 2.1.7c in JBoss-4.0.2 while deploying my ear/har file I get following warning

net.sf.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryObjectFactory : InitialContext did not implement EventContext"

Rest of the installation is completed with no errors/warnings.

when I try to look up hibernate session factory I get a warn as
net.sf.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryObjectFactory : Not Found.

The same code is working in JBoss.3.2.6 with no problems, leading me to find myself in JBoss forum for an answer.

NOTE: In my ear file I have a har and war file the JNDI look up is happening from war file.

Any help would be apprciated.

Hi,

Sorry but I can't help you. In fact I've exactly the same problem. I've asked for help on forums but no one seems to be able to give a solution.

I'm searching for a few days. Perhaps a jndi.properties is required ?

What steps have you followed to use Hibernate 2.1.7 with JBoss 4.0.2, as of JBoss 4.0.2 Hibernate 3 is included as standard.

I used instructions provided by JBoss using following link
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossHibernateSwitching

I use hibernate3 with JBoss4 because I want my ear to be deployed on different kinda server.
(for exemple weblo doesn't contain hibernate).

U use Hibernate 3 and I use 2.1, what diff. does it make where I deploy as long as I package it right?

I haven't had a chance to look at the instructions you followed yet but the version makes a big difference.

Hibernate 2 has classes in the net.sf.hibernate package, Hibernate 3 has the classes in the org.hibernate package. As the error references net.sf.hibernate it is important to know which version you are having the problems with.

I am using Hibernate 2.1.7 and using the switch info from wiki (URL is above in the trail) I changed the hibernate 3.x integration in JBoss-4.0.2 to Hibernate 2.1.x. Rest everything left as is.

Somewhere on your classpath you have a hibernate.properties file which specifies a value for the 'hibernate.session_factory_name' property.

When using the HARDeployer you should endeavor not to use a hibernate.properties file. That's what the MBean is for.

I search from root of JBoss-4.0.2 and find no file by name hibernate.properties or any other (XML) file consisting of hibernate.session_factory_name property

Ah, just looked at the source code that is attached on that Wiki page and it is wrong.

Specifically, two things you need to change in the org.jboss.hibernate.jmx.Hibernate class:
1) in the getProperties() method, remove the line:
setUnlessNull(props, Environment.SESSION_FACTORY_NAME, sessionFactoryName);
2) have it take over responsibility for binding and unbinding the session factory itself; use the newer (hibernate-3 based) one as a reference on how to do that.
