I am creating a application using gwt and hibernate.Here I am using code given below to buildsessionfactory :

  Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
    System.out.println("configuration: " + configuration);
    Configuration configur = configuration.configure("com/aro/hibernate.cfg.xml");
    java.util.Properties prop = configur.getProperties();
    System.out.println("prop "+prop);           
    System.out.println("configur: " + configur);
    SessionFactory sessFactory = configur.buildSessionFactory();

here sessFactory is throwing NullPointerException when last line excuting.
Exception stack trae is as follows:

Try to do it this way:

   private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();

    private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
        try {
            // Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
            return new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

        }
        catch (Throwable ex) {
            // Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
            System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }

and your hibernate.cfg.xml in src folder should be:

<?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>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>

    <property name="hibernate.connection.username">dummyuser</property>

    <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property> 
    <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
    <property name="show_sql">true</property>
    <mapping class="com.vanilla.entity.Student" />
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
