I'm trying to upgrade Hibernate from 4.2.7 final to 4.3.5 final running on Tomcat 8.0.5 using Spring 4.0.0 GA and JSF 2.2.6.

The following libraries are added to the classpath.

  • antlr-2.7.7.jar
  • dom4j-1.6.1.jar
  • hibernate-commons-annotations-4.0.4.Final.jar
  • hibernate-core-4.3.5.Final.jar
  • hibernate-jpa-2.1-api-1.0.0.Final.jar
  • jandex-1.1.0.Final.jar
  • javassist-3.18.1-GA.jar
  • jboss-logging-3.1.3.GA.jar
  • jboss-logging-annotations-1.2.0.Beta1.jar
  • jboss-transaction-api_1.2_spec-1.0.0.Final.jar
  • hibernate-entitymanager-4.3.5.Final.jar

And for generating a static metamodel (processor).

  • hibernate-jpamodelgen-4.3.5.Final.jar

After upgrading, the following exception is thrown.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.engine.jndi.JndiException: Unable to lookup JNDI name [java:comp/env/jdbc/social_networking]

    <Resource name="jdbc/social_networking" 
              auth="Container"
              type="javax.sql.DataSource"
              maxActive="100"
              maxIdle="30"
              maxWait="10000"
              username="root"
              password="password"
              driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
              url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/social_networking"/>
</Context>

In web.xml, a resource reference is added as follows.

<resource-ref>
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/social_networking</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

I already tried changing the name from java:comp/env/jdbc/social_networking to java:/comp/env/jdbc/social_networking but that did not make a difference either.

Why does it fail to locate a resource using a JNDI on the latest Hibernate release?

EDIT :

I have chosen a temporary way as shown in this question/accepted answer, not using a JNDI until the potential bug is fixed in a future release.

  • Can you take a look at this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2911439/refering-tomcat-jndi-datasource-in-persistence-xml and see if this works? – Abhijit Mazumder May 17 '14 at 15:45
  • Peeped through the link but I found nothing wrong in the given configurations. So, no clue. It fails only on the latest Hibernate version. Difficult to envision the actual cause of the exception. – Tiny May 17 '14 at 17:53
  • This appears to be an unresolved [issue](https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-8818). Fixed version(s) are none. – Tiny May 17 '14 at 18:31
  • [This](http://stackoverflow.com/q/20135117/1391249) is a very similar question still unanswered. – Tiny May 17 '14 at 18:36

This issue that causes a JNDI look up to fail has been fixed as of Hibernate 4.3.6 final (and upcoming releases).

In this particular case, in the existing code snippets in the question however, org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect in the persistence.xml file needs to be replaced by org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect or the following exception is thrown (I'm using MySQL 5.6.11 with mysql-connector-java-5.1.18).

org.hibernate.HibernateException: Access to DialectResolutionInfo cannot be null when 'hibernate.dialect' not set

Since Hibernate 4 does a fantastic job of determining which dialect to use based on the JDBC driver provided, it also works, even though this dialect itself is removed in its entirely from persistence.xml but that depends...
