Hi,
I am newbie to Hibernate. I followed the instructions on the following
page to configure Tomcat to work with Hibernate.
http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/reference/en/html/quickstart.html
I tested hibernate with a simple Employee table and Employee.hbm.xml
===================================================================
My /src directory has
hibernate.cfg.xml at the root.
HibernateUtil.java inside package proj.db.
Employee.java inside package proj.mapping.
Employee.hbm.xml inside package proj.mapping.
==================================================================
The following code is put in test.jsp to test hibernate
"try{
Session s = HibernateUtil.currentSession();

Transaction tx= s.beginTransaction();

Employee E = new Employee();
E.setFirstName("blue");
E.setLastName("blue");
E.setEmail("blue@gmail.com");

s.save(E);
tx.commit();

HibernateUtil.closeSession();
}catch (Exception e) {
 out.println(e.getMessage());
}"
================================================
package proj.db;

import net.sf.hibernate.*;
import net.sf.hibernate.cfg.*;

public class HibernateUtil {

   //private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(HibernateUtil.class);

   private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;

   static {
       try {
           // Create the SessionFactory
           Configuration conf= new Configuration()
           .addClass(elearning.mapping.Employee.class);
           //sessionFactory = new
Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
           sessionFactory = conf.buildSessionFactory();
       } catch (Throwable ex) {
           System.out.println("HUHUHU");
            System.out.println("******" + ex.getMessage());
           //log.error("Initial SessionFactory creation failed.",
ex);
           throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
       }
   }

   public static final ThreadLocal session = new ThreadLocal();

   public static Session currentSession() throws HibernateException {
       Session s = (Session) session.get();
       // Open a new Session, if this Thread has none yet
       if (s == null) {
           s = sessionFactory.openSession();
           session.set(s);
       }
       return s;
   }

   public static void closeSession() throws HibernateException {
       Session s = (Session) session.get();
       session.set(null);
       if (s != null)
           s.close();
   }
}
================================================================
========================================================
I got the following Servlet Exception
type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented
it from fulfilling this request.

Here is part of the output in catalina.out:

==============================================================
I don't know what was going on.
What does the "net/sf/cglib/core/KeyFactory" message printed out above
mean?
Is there anything wrong with my configuration?
Thanks. I would appreciate any help.
