Add the following properties to hibernate.cfg.xml: connection.driver_class => org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver

The connection.driver_class property element is missing or doesn't have the correct value.

hibernate.cfg.xml 
<hibernate-configuration>
   <session-factory>
      <property name="connection.driver_class">
              org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver  
     </property>
<property name="connection.url">
  jdbc:hsqldb:file:./data/treehouse
   </property>
       <property name="dialect">
      org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect
   </property>
      </session-factory>
  </hibernate-configuration>
