Java hibernate and mysql

Question

I'm trying out this hibernate, and following a tutorial on it. However I quickly get stuck on an exception.

public class input {

public static void main(String[] args){

    student student = new student();
    student.setName("bar");
    student.setRollNo(1);

    SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
    Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
    session.beginTransaction();

    session.save(student);

    session.getTransaction().commit();
    session.close();
    sessionFactory.close();
}
}

my student class

@Entity
public class student {

@Id
private int rollNo;
private String name;

public String getName() {
    return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}
public int getRollNo() {
    return rollNo;
}
public void setRollNo(int rollNo) {
    this.rollNo = rollNo;
}
}

UPDATED - console gives:

I'm not sure what is causing this. I tried to make a normal prepared statement, and suceeded. So I'm nearly sudden it's not my database, or login details that is the problem.

hibernate.cfg.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 

<hibernate-configuration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.hibernate.org/xsd/hibernate-configuration hibernate-configuration-4.0.xsd"
    xmlns="http://www.hibernate.org/xsd/hibernate-configuration">

    </session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

Answer 1

There is a fault in line number 8 of hibernate.cfg.xml file so it is failed to parse the xml file. Please look at the following line carefully.

<property name="connection.password"/>somepass</property>

then modify it to

<property name="connection.password">somepass</property>

this is not a hibernate fault, it's only a simple xml fault.
