You might have faced CommunicationsException, basically timeout issue in Java while connecting to MySQL using Hibernate. The session would be timed out after certain period of time. You might be thinking that the your site or application is running without any issue but it would have stopped or crashed due to below exception.

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: The last packet successfully received from the server was 437,036,648 milliseconds ago. The last packet sent successfully to the server was 437,036,652 milliseconds ago. is longer than the server configured value of 'wait_timeout'. You should consider either expiring and/or testing connection validity before use in your application, increasing the server configured values for client timeouts, or using the Connector/J connection property 'autoReconnect=true' to avoid this problem.

To solve this issue, create a file c3p0.properties and add the below properties. Place the file in the same path of Hibernate.cfg.xml. This file should be part of the jar.


  c3p0.idleConnectionTestPeriod=100

  c3p0.preferredTestQuery=SELECT 1

  c3p0.testConnectionOnCheckin=true

  c3p0.testConnectionOnCheckout=false

  c3p0.debugUnreturnedConnectionStackTraces=true

  com.mchange.v2.log.MLog=com.mchange.v2.log.log4j.Log4jMLog

Advantages and Disadvantages of using Hibernate like ORM libraries

Traditionally Programmers used ODBC, JDBC, ADO etc to access database. Developers need to write SQL queries, process the result set and convert the data in the form of objects (Data model).

To overcome these difficulties, ORM provides a mechanism to directly use objects and interact with the database.
