Problems to configure hibernate and PostgreSQL

Question

I am new to Hibernate configuration, and I'm trying to setup a this test application but I am getting a few problems. I did everything as in this tutorial: http://www.laliluna.de/articles/java-persistence-hibernate/first-hibernate-example-tutorial.html But it seems that I am doing something wrong:

See the log:

SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

I got the Following Configuration:

Answer 1

Check you application server has the same file and in logs it warn you as use

http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/

instead of

http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/

I check your xml and it is valid.
