Hibernate, Oracle, Play: Unable to build EntityManagerFactory error - oracle

Question

I'm getting a really vague exception from Hibernate when trying to use it with Oracle.(it works normally with MySQL)
I have the following configuration:
Play Framework: 2.3.7
ojdbc14.jar
Hibernate: 4.3.8.Final
I'm using Oracle 10i
The application manages to connect, but fails when trying to build the Entity Manager.
I tried to build it manually, but I got the same error when using Play's annotation #play.db.jpa.Transactional
For example: Accessing via raw JDBC works normally.
My database settings in application.conf:
db.default.driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
db.default.url="jdbc:oracle:thin:#IP:1521:SID"
db.default.user=USER_NAME
db.default.pass=ROOT
db.default.jndiName=DefaultDS
jpa.default=defaultPersistenceUnit
My Persistence.xml:
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
version="2.0">
<persistence-unit name="defaultPersistenceUnit" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">

<non-jta-data-source>DefaultDS</non-jta-data-source>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
Here's the exception:

The Exception being thrown by Hibernate:

Could someone help me figuring out what the problem might be and how to solve it?
Any help is really appreciated.
Thank you

Answer 1

Since I havent used play, my answer is not a copy and paste but it will show you the way how to do it.
It seems that you are missing a lot of properties in your persistence unit. You are not providing required fields such as username, password, url schema etc. Please have a look at:
https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/entitymanager/3.5/reference/en/html/configuration.html
An example for hsqldb is from the docs above:
<persistence>
<persistence-unit name="manager1" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<class>org.hibernate.ejb.test.Cat</class>
<class>org.hibernate.ejb.test.Distributor</class>
<class>org.hibernate.ejb.test.Item</class>
<properties>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"/>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="sa"/>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value=""/>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:."/>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect"/
<property name="hibernate.max_fetch_depth" value="3"/>
<!-- cache configuration -->
<property name="hibernate.ejb.classcache.org.hibernate.ejb.test.Item" value="read-write"/>
<property name="hibernate.ejb.collectioncache.org.hibernate.ejb.test.Item.distributors" value="read-write, RegionName"/>
<!-- alternatively to <class> and <property> declarations, you can use a regular hibernate.cfg.xml file -->
<!-- property name="hibernate.ejb.cfgfile" value="/org/hibernate/ejb/test/hibernate.cfg.xml"/ -->
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Answer 2

The issue was related to the Oracle driver.
My original configuration works fine with the driver ojdbc7.jar
So my play/jpa configuration remained as:
application.conf
db.default.driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
db.default.url="jdbc:oracle:thin:#IP:1521:SID"
db.default.user=USER_NAME
db.default.pass=ROOT
db.default.jndiName=DefaultDS
jpa.default=defaultPersistenceUnit
persistence.xml

<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
I hope it helps someone
EDITED:
I also tried with ojdbc14.jar because I needed to connect o an oracle 8i server.
You only need to add the following property to your persistence.xml
<property name="hibernate.temp.use_jdbc_metadata_defaults" value="false"/>
Thanks
