How can I fix JndiException on hibernate?

Question

public class HibernateUtil {
private static SessionFactory sessionFactory = createSessionFactory();
private static ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry;

public static SessionFactory createSessionFactory() {
    Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
    configuration.configure();
    serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(
            configuration.getProperties()).build();
    sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
    return sessionFactory;
}

public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
    return sessionFactory;
}
}

This is the class I have found on this forum to provide the session factory but I keep getting the JndiException: Error parsing JNDI name []

16:07:57,659 WARN SessionFactoryObjectFactory:98 - Could not bind factory to JNDI

The HibernateUtil is not the problem. You should look into your configuration file .cfg.xml and remove the name on the session-factory tag.

<session-factory name=""> 

to:

<session-factory>

This is a quick fix for that problem. The name attribute is only required to bind SessionFactory to JNDI.
