Question

I made a basic JUnit test to set up this Oracle database on my computer with hibernate. The database works and everything, but trying to hook it up to Hibernate is proving to be a challenge. My config file can be here:

The JUnit test is fairly straight forward and I’m sure it should work, but I’m getting this JUnit failure:

org.hibernate.exception.JDBCConnectionException: Cannot open connection

Any ideas what’s wrong with it?

Connection properties in Hibernate config file:

<session-factory>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">
        oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.url">
        jdbc:Oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:8080/slyvronline</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.username">
        YouNoGetMyLoginInfo</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.password">
        YouNoGetMyLoginInfo</property>
    <property name="dialect">
        org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect</property>
    <!-- Other -->
    <property name="show_sql">true</property>
    <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">validate</property>

    <!-- Mapping files -->
    <mapping class="com.slyvr.pojo.Person"/>
</session-factory>

Answer 1

It’s unlikely (but possible) your DB is listening on port 8080. Oracle defaults to port 1521. Start there.

(Since it’s a connection issue, relevant portions of Hibernate config are useful; I’ve edited to reflect.)
