Hibernate delete content of database table

I try to implement a CRUD application in Java using JPA with Hibernate.
I have two independent tests that act on two different database tables. When I run one of these tests, the corresponding table is populated correctly, but when I run the other test the table that was previously populated is emptied and the other table is filled.
This is my configuration.cfg.xml file for the configuration of hibernate:
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.sqlite.JDBC</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">
jdbc:sqlite:/Users/th3g3ntl3man/Repository/assignment3/src/main/resources/database.db
</property>
<property name="dialect">com.enigmabridge.hibernate.dialect.SQLiteDialect</property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>
<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">
org.hibernate.context.internal.ThreadLocalSessionContext
</property>
<mapping class="entity.User"/>
<mapping class="entity.Topic"/>
<mapping class="entity.Image"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
I suppose that the problem was in the property hbm2ddl.auto, thus I try to change the value from create to update but when I compile one test I works correctly but when I run a second test the test crash with this stack trace:

hibernate oracle 11g error

NPE at Constructor of WSDLServiceFactory

Facing the same issue as mentioned here :
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2171
spring configuration contains
<bean id="testProxy" class="test.TestProxyImpl">
<property name="testEndPoint" ref="testService"/>
</bean>
<bean id="testService" class="test.jaxws.testServiceImpl">
<property name="serviceInterface" value="test.jaxws.testServiceEndPoint"/>
<property name="wsdlDocumentUrl" value="${test.service.URL}"/>
<property name="username" value="${test.username}"/>
<property name="password" value="${test.password}"/>
</bean>
which loads the wsdl from remote webservice, everything works fine here
Issue occurs when in another configuration file , try to create a new cxf webservice. Configuration below:
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml"/>
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml" />
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-servlet.xml" />
<jaxws:endpoint
id="HelloWorld"

Now I get error:

Here I want to consume external webservice and also create new web service using apache cxf.
Any suggestions?
Note: it is not a maven project. As everything was working well with first configuration file , changing cxf lib versions is not an option.
Running in tomcat 6 and cxf libs in classpath are :
cxf-2.1.0.jar, cxf-core-3.1.2.jar

MySQL error with Hibernate

I have an entity class named "NewsArticle" that has about 20 instance variables, when I use session.save() to insert the entity object into mysql, I got the following error. I have searched the internet but found no solution. I am sure I am using MySQL dialect for hibernate queries. What does the error message indicate where might be wrong though?

My code for insertion into MySQL:
Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
session.save(na);
tx.commit();
session.close();

FullText is a reserved keyword in mysql. Please rename your NewsArticle entity variable fulltext to some other. Make sure you don't have any variables by the name which are reserved in mysql.

Hibernate - No Suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql//*

I am trying to run hibernate in a Java project that is referenced by a web project. Simple enough except that I can't get hibernate to connect to my database. I have a lot of people describing this problem and getting tons of answers however none seem to work for me.
This is how my hibernate.cfg.xml looks like:

I debugged the code to DriverManagerConnectionProvider class, the exception is thrown attempting the getConnection() method
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, connectionProps);
I checked the url and connectionProps and they are the ones in hibernate.cfg.xml
I have added mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin in my tomcat \lib folder and I can see it in eclipse under Libraries>Apache Tomcat v6.0>. I also added it to my %Javahome%\lib\ext and my CLASSPATH variable (which I know is useless by I am kindda desperate).
I made sure my driver is installed properly by running the following code just before the session.beginTransaction() which in turn leads to DriverManagerConnectionProvider.getConnection()
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Properties connectionProperties = new Properties();
connectionProperties.put("user", "root");
connectionProperties.put("password", "root");
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname", connectionProperties);
I noticed that emitting the first line causes the same exception.

WARNING: --Erroring: batchId[24] message[org.hibernate.exception.JDBCConnectionException: Cannot open connection]
I appreciate all the help I could get. Thanks in advance.
Versions Used: Tomcat v6.0 - Hibernate 3.6.6 - Java 6 - Eclipse 3.5.2 R35x

You forgot the colon after "mysql":
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname</property>
Here's the doc for the URL format:
jdbc:mysql://[host][,failoverhost...][:port]/[database]
No suitable driver always means that the driver JAR was loaded, but your URL syntax is incorrect.

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname
You are missing the : after mysql

Another reason is that the driver class is not found, make sure your driver class is successfully loaded.
