Question

I am using Hibernate latest version 4.3.5.Final.

My hibernate.cfg.xml file content:

Answer 1

Finally able to fix the issue, the issue is with the way SessionFactory is getting created.

For a starter, official document is the first place to go and I must say that Hibernate official documentation seems to be not update with latest version changes.

Fix is to apply the configuration settings to StandardServiceRegistryBuilder instance.

// Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");
ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder()
        .applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).build();
SessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration
        .buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
