It works by calling "new SessionFactoryImpl" which calls SessionFactoryObjectFactory.addInstance(). But how is Tomcat going to create a Configuration object? It only knows ObjectFactorys. SessionFactoryObjectFactory never creates a Configuration. That's exactly the code I added to make BasicSessionFactoryObjectFactory: calls to create a Configuration and then buildSessionFactory(). SessionFactoryObjectFactory is the only ObjectFactory in Hibernate. Configuration is not an ObjectFactory. There is no ConfigurationObjectFactory. (And there shouldn't be; what Tomcat really wants is a SessionFactory not a Configuration.) I guess this all works perfectly in other containers, but Tomcat needs the ObjectFactory to actually create an object, like org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory does. Maybe this doesn't belong in SessionFactoryObjectFactory, because it's used differently by other containers, but for Tomcat, Hibernate needs to supply an ObjectFactory that creates the objects it says it will return. JndiSessionFactoryImpl on page 114 does this but is incomplete (also via Configuration.buildSessionFactory()). I saw that and the problems listed and then notice SessionFactoryObjectFactory and thought it was supposed to be the official ObjectFactory. Perhaps my additions to SessionFactoryObjectFactory should be additions to JndiSessionFactoryImpl, but I still think they should be a part of Hibernate.
