Urgent need help in Hibernate Configuration file

[ashi1290]

I am getting this error.....
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoCla ssDefFoundError : org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory
at org.hibernate.c fg.Configuratio n.<clinit>(Conf iguration.java: 120)
at com.author.hbn. HibernateUtil.< clinit>(Hiberna teUtil.java:12)
at com.author.app. Abhi.main(Abhi. java:13)

Configuration file looks like this

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration SYSTEM "hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<!-- Database connection settings -->
<property name="connectio n.driver_class" >oracle.jdbc.Or acleDriver</property>
<property name="connectio n.url">jdbc:ora cle:thin:@10.20 8.7.35:1521:SAP ETRM</property>
<property name="connectio n.username">sap etrmdev</property>
<property name="connectio n.password">sap etrmdev</property>
<!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) -->
<property name="connectio n.pool_size">1</property>
<!-- Enable Hibernate's automatic session context management -->
<property name="current_s ession_context_ class">thread</property>
<!-- SQL dialect -->
<property name="dialect"> org.hibernate.d ialect.Oracle9D ialect</property>
<!-- Echo all executed SQL to stdout -->
<property name="show_sql" >true</property>
<mapping resource="conf/Trader.hbm.xml"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Hibernate Util file where i am creating Connection Looks likes this...

package com.author.hbn;

import org.hibernate.S essionFactory;
import org.hibernate.c fg.Configuratio n;
import org.dom4j.*;
public class HibernateUtil {
private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;

static {
try {
// Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.x ml
sessionFactory = new Configuration() .configure().bu ildSessionFacto ry();
} catch (Exception ex) {
// Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed

System.err.prin tln("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
throw new ExceptionInInit ializerError(ex );

}
}

public static SessionFactory getSessionFacto ry() {
return sessionFactory;
}


}

It has nothing to do with Hibernate nor Connections; read the exception text: your
code is looking for a LogFactory and you didn't tell it where it could find one.

kind regards,
