Connection cannot be null when 'hibernate.dialect' not set

Question

having more issues with seting up hibernate with spring3. this time it is saying that connection is nul as the dialect is not set which it is on my hibernate.cfg.xml file.

Answer 1

The database connection is missing. Add to your hibernate.cfg.xml file a lines like this

com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

    jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/your_database

your_user
your_password

(replace localhost if the database is not installed on your computer, and set the values beginning with your_ in my example).
