DBUnit and Hibernate

You wouldn’t think the difference between these two code snippets were anything to blog about, right?

String selectString = "select * from mytable";
List result = getHibernateTemplate().find(selectString);

and this one, and no, you woun’t get any points for pointing out that this is a better, non-deprectaed way of executing a query in Hibernate

String selectString = "select * from mytable";
Query query = getSession().createQuery(queryString);
List result = query.list();

And no to the funny part: the latter implementation makes DBUnit hang forever!

Doing a thread dump of the Maven Surefire process reveals that this part of code is hanging:

"main" prio=10 tid=0x09945c00 nid=0x5279 in Object.wait() [0xb7d74000..0xb7d751f8]
   java.lang.Thread.State: WAITING (on object monitor)

	at org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolingDataSource.getConnection(PoolingDataSource.java:95)

Now, who can tell me why this is?
