java.lang.NullPointerException in session factory building hibernate 4

Question

I am simply trying to create a session factory object in hibernate 4. It throws null pointer exception while creating session factory object.

Hibernate configuration file

<?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>

<property name="connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@SHKG9072DB:5030:TMSD10G2</property>
<property name="connection.username">ICTDEV$EDI_APP</property>
<property name="connection.password">p2II9JLIaea06</property>
<property name="connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect</property>

<property name="show_sql">true</property>

<property name="format_sql">true</property>


<!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) -->
<property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property> 

</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Code to create session factory

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Trying to create a test connection with the database.");
    Configuration configuration = new Configuration().configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");
    StandardServiceRegistryBuilder serviceRegistryBuilder = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder();
    serviceRegistryBuilder.applySettings(configuration.getProperties());
    ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = serviceRegistryBuilder.build();
    SessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
}

Logs

Did you try adding these properties in xml file:

name="hibernate.temp.use_jdbc_metadata_defaults" value="false"
name = "hibernate.jdbc.lob.non_contextual_creation" ="true"

If you are using hibernate-hikaricp, this can happen if you do not set the connection provider class:

hibernate.connection.provider_class=org.hibernate.hikaricp.internal.HikariCPConnectionProvider
hibernate.hikari.jdbcUrl=...
