Instance seems working, but the following exception should be investigated :

Maybe this thread could help : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16431382/error-hhh000299-could-not-complete-schema-update-java-lang-nullpointerexceptio

That URL doesn't seem useful. The only references to hbm2ddl are into the log4j configuration, and the DB configuration for these versions of geonetwork is straightforward: the only files that need to be touched are jdbc.properties and WEB-INF/config-node/srv.xml. In the former we put the database server settings and in the latter we tell the service to use postgres with the postgis extension.

I don't remember a similar exteption when we tried a 3.2.1 configuration some months ago, btw.
