"Could not obtain connection metadata' when generating Hiber

[gbadavidson]

I am attempting to use Hibernate with JSF/Facelets on the JBoss AS. When the application attempts to build the Hibernate Session Factory an error is thrown "Could not obtain connection metadata", yet the driver is listed a few lines eariler in the log. Here is the relevent lines from the log and then the Hibernate configuration file. :

I have deleted the original Mysql Driver files and configurations and regenerated them. I am getting the same results. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. If someone has a link to some documentyation for configuring Hibernate in Jboss developer studio that they found helpful it would be greatly appreciated. I haven't found much documentation.

Is the mysql JAR file in the server/xxx/lib directory?

Peter,

Thanks, right on the money. I did not have the jar file in the right lib directory. After I placed the My connector jar file in there the driver problem was cleared. I now have a Jndi naming problem but I am going to see if I can figure that out with having to bother you guys!! Thanks for your help!!!!
