hi,

I m an novice user. I am gettin an error i this line SessionFactory sessionFactory = new
Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

it is giving null pointer exception. please tell me what can be the cause. where should be the hibernate.cfg.xml in our project.

Any help will be appreciable.

Thanks in advance.

You can put hibernate.cfg.xml file anywhere you want but in that case you will have to call



where resource is the location of cfg file . But Normally app developers keep this file in the current project directory and use the configure() method having no-args.

Thanks,
Ganesh
