Question

I have a problem in using of my own Database server with Google web application.

Am using eclips (java EE IDE), installed all google plugins init, and develop a sample google web aplication , deployed it into web.Its working correctly.

Now i want to use my own Database in my app.(MYSQL installed in localhost). Here am using Hibernate to connect with database. All required jar file are placed in lib directory which is in WEB-INF folder.

When i run my application it gives an error like ..

com.google.apphosting.utils.jetty.JettyLogger warn

Please give any Idea to achieve this one....

Answer 1

Do you use Hibernate 4.3.1 Final ?

Hibernate's DriverManagerConnectionProvider tries to create new Threads, which is not allowed on GAE. I also had this issue.

Checking out Google's example on GitHub told me that using Hibernate 4.2.0.Final works fine. I tried to run the same example with Hibernate 4.3.1 and got the same Exception. But with 4.2 it's running just as expected.

I'm gonna downgrade Hibernate in my App and see..
