Hello,
I am new a programming java web applications, so this may be simple but please help.

I have installed the Maven plugin in Netbeans 6.1 IDE. I opened the project in the tutorial and right clicked and "manualy installed artifacts:" commons-logging-99.0-does-not-exist.jar, commons-logging-api-99.0-does-not-exist.jar, hsqldb-1.8.0.2.jar and hibernate-testing-3.3.1.GA.jar

The GlassFish V2 log:

Thank you for any help!!!

I would advise to check that database is up and running and also make sure that you are providing the correct credentials/name in the hibernate/spring properties for the HSQLDB database.
To me this seems to be the root of the problem.
<code>
java.sql.SQLException: S1000 General error java.lang.RuntimeException: database alias does not exist
at org.hsqldb.jdbc.Util.sqlException(Unknown Source)
</code>

Thank you for the response!

Where are the settings for a "database alias"?

These are the settings which came with the tutorial, maybe someone knows what I should modify:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>

<session-factory>

<!-- Database connection settings -->
<property name="connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property>
<property name="connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost</property>
<property name="connection.username">sa</property>
<property name="connection.password"></property>

<!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) -->
<property name="connection.pool_size">2</property>

<!-- SQL dialect -->
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property>

<!-- Enable Hibernate's current session context -->
<property name="current_session_context_class">org.hibernate.context.ManagedSessionContext</property>

<!-- Disable the second-level cache -->
<property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider</property>

<!-- Echo all executed SQL to stdout -->
<property name="show_sql">true</property>

<!-- Drop and re-create the database schema on startup -->
<property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>

<mapping resource="org/hibernate/tutorial/domain/Event.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="org/hibernate/tutorial/domain/Person.hbm.xml"/>

</session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

You should be looking at connection.url. This is where the port , db name etc is specified. and it looks like yours is incomplete.
I have never worked with this tutorial so cannot say what would be the exact value.
But it should have the db-name/alias like
jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/mydb

Thank you for the response.
I don't yet know exactly what fixed the problem but it is working now without errors.
I will post when I know more. I "Manually installed the artifact" again for hsqldb and restarted Netbeans and it "worked".

I now know there is no configuration file I needed to change for the tutorial which comes with the hibernate-core-3.3.1.GA.jar because I didn't change any of them and it started running without error.
