Please help me what to do so that i can access db of my server

Answer 1

First you need to gain some basic knowledge of networking. Test if the database server if accessible and no firewall is blocking it (eg: using telnet).
Then if you look down your exception trace, it complained about the lack of hibernate.dialect. Typically this is set on META-INF/persistence.xml like following:
<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="sample">
..
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value= "org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect"/>
...
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
