init()

[ceyesuma]

I recently deployed a program http://www.netbeans.org/kb/61/web/hibernate-vwp.html#01 in a pakage containing *.hbm.xml's and backing beans a HibernateUTIL.java class was

created.

in the IDE the table describes proper primatives that populate colm and rows. yet
(deployed) a table displays column headers in browser with no data.

an exception states HibernateUTIL

System Messages

    * java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class travel.HibernateUtil

The web.xml states

<init-param>
            <param-name>hibernatetravelapp.HibernateUtil</param-name>
            <param-value>hibernatetravelapp.HibernateUtil</param-value>
        </init-param>

as far as i know th HibernateUTIL.class uses the hibernate.cfg.xml which is found in sister package containing all the beans (in

Source packages forlder0

Is there a clue contained here to resolve the initiation of the hibernateUTIL.java?
Thanks

This is just the web.xml in its entirety.

I have reaized that there is no relationship between a drop down list and a table .
I think I need to establish a query to populate the table with records related to the choice of a persons name (selected item) in a drop down list.

I have also realized I have no clue on prerendering the dataProvider for the table dropdown list and will redo this project and pay more attention to this.
Thanks anyway.

I fixed some var and it looks like it is in working order.
I really need more JSF examples if possible
(dealing with database binding)
Thanks

this has nothing to do with JSF, but with basic web application architecture and deployment.
You're missing classes in your deployment.
