log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at transaction.rollback();

this is in Main.java:

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
    Transaction transaction = null;
    try {
        transaction = session.beginTransaction();
        Address address = new Address("ABC", "Delhi", "TN", "110001");
        Student student = new Student("kumar", address);
        session.save(student);
        transaction.commit();
    } catch (HibernateException e) {
        transaction.rollback();
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        session.close();
    }

Answer 1

Should change

transaction.rollback();

to

if (transaction != null) {
    transaction.rollback();
}

as its possible for the assignment of transaction to throw an exception.

If you want to get rid of the Log4J messages, you can add a call to

BasicConfigurator.configure();

to setup basic logging
