Hibernate and MySQL configuration

Question

I have spent a few hours trying to set up my first Hibernate application and it still doesn't work.

I have WAMP Server with my MySQL Data Base called "hibernatetest". I have Project in Eclipse, which contains Hibernate library, and mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar. I have also this classes:

HibernateUtil.java:

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class HibernateUtil {

    private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();

    private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
        try {
            // Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
            return new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory(
                new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().build() );
        }
        catch (Throwable ex) {
            // Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
            System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }

}

test.java (contains main):

import org.hibernate.Session;

import templates.Album;

public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        Album i = new Album();
        i.setID(1);
        i.setArtist("Iron Maiden");
        i.setTitle("The Book of Souls");
        i.setLabel("Warner Music");

        Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
        session.beginTransaction();

        session.save(i);

        session.getTransaction().commit();
        session.close();
        System.out.println("Saved");
    }
}

Album.java:

package templates;

public class Album {
    private int ID;
    private String title;
    private String artist;
    private String label;

    public Album(){

    }

    public int getID() {
        return ID;
    }

    public void setID(int iD) {
        ID = iD;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title) {
        this.title = title;
    }

    public String getArtist() {
        return artist;
    }

    public void setArtist(String artist) {
        this.artist = artist;
    }

    public String getLabel() {
        return label;
    }

    public void setLabel(String label) {
        this.label = label;
    }

}

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

As the error says, you need to specify the dialect in your hibernate.cfg file.

<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
