Hibernate: MySql vs ' ' user - mysql

Question

I've started learning hibernate. Here is my hibernate-configuration file:
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<!-- connection settings -->
<property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hibernatelearning</property>
<property name="connection.name">root</property>
<property name="connection.password"></property>
<!-- JDBC connection pool -->
<property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
<!-- dialect -->
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
<mapping resource="./Event.hbm.xml"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
The exception is:
INFO: connection properties: {name=root, password=****}
22.03.2011 15:45:14 org.hibernate.cfg.SettingsFactory buildSettings
WARNING: Could not obtain connection to query metadata
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Access denied for user ''#'localhost' to database 'hibernatelearning'
Does anybody know how to deal with it?

Answer 1

The problem was in hibernate.cfg.xml. The right one:
<session-factory>
<!-- connection settings -->
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hibernatelearning</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password"></property>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create-drop</property>
<!-- JDBC connection pool -->
<property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
<!-- dialect -->
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect</property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
<mapping resource="./Event.hbm.xml"/>
</session-factory>
