如何使用hibernate配置Jaybird

Question

I'm using jaybird 2.2.3 with hibernate 3.5 and when I use the wizard to hibernate mapping files and pojos database the following error appears "java.lang.NullPointerException"

I use the same mapping with mysql and it works correctly, so I believe it is something in jaybird

My hibernate.cfg.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD       3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
  <session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.FirebirdDialect</property>

<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:firebirdsql://XXXXXX:XXXX/X:\XXXX\XXXX\XXX\XXX\XX\XXX.FDB</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">sysdba</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">XXXXX</property>
  </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

can someone help me?

Answer 1

After digging into the code of Netbeans and adding extra logging to Jaybird, the problem is that Netbeans loads the driver with a custom classloader that doesn't return resources in META-INF/services (specifically for Jaybird 2.2.x: META-INF/services/org.firebirdsql.gds.impl.GDSFactoryPlugin ).

This breaks the driver as these services definitions are used to load the available GDSFactoryPlugin definitions (eg one for the Type 4 default implementation, Type 4 Open Office implementation, the Type 2 embedded client and Type 2 native client).

I will add some kind of fallback mechanism or move this plugin definition to a separate location and also investigate why Netbeans does this, because it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Solution

Use Jaybird 2.2.4 or higher.

Workaround

NOTE : Do not use this workaround, it was superseded by the release of Jaybird 2.2.4

As a workaround I have released a snapshot build of Jaybird 2.2.4, you can download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/firebird/files/firebird-jca-jdbc-driver/2.2.4-SNAPSHOT/ (make sure it has today (21st of September) as the build date, it is possible that some of the sourceforge mirrors still distribute the previous snapshot).

A full list of changes in 2.2.4 can be found in the Jaybird tracker: Version 2.2.4 .
