java.sql.SQLException: Login failed for user

Question

I'm trying to configure Hibernate to connect to MS SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express, but I can't login. I have searched everywhere for a solution, but cant find anything that I can find helpful.

I know the password and username are correct, but they dont seem to work. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

This is my configuration file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
 "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
 "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
 <session-factory>
  <!-- Database connection settings -->
  <property name="connection.driver_class">net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver</property>
  <property name="connection.url">jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://***********/**********; databaseName=Scores</property>
  <property name="connection.username">*****</property>
  <property name="connection.password">******</property>

  <!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) -->
  <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>

  <!-- SQL dialect -->
  <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect</property>

  <!-- Enable Hibernate's automatic session context management -->
  <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>

  <!-- Disable the second-level cache -->
  <property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider</property>

  <!-- Echo all executed SQL to stdout -->
  <property name="show_sql">true</property>

  <!-- Drop and re-create the database schema on startup -->
  <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>

  <!-- Mapping files -->
  <mapping resource="player.hbm.xml"/>

 </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

This is the output (Its very long, so I have included a small part of it)

Answer 1

Try another driver and check if it works, maybe. I use this one and it works:

com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

To connect:

jdbc:sqlserver://SERVER[\\INSTANCE];DatabaseName=dbname

If still not working, check if you missed any config or something it's bad spelled, but seems that it should work.
