I'm trying to get my feet wet with Hibernate, but I'm running into problems setting up the Configuration object (specifically, loading my mappings between objects and the database).

My class root is /src (and it's the root of the classpath). I've put the hibernate.cfg.xml and hibernate.properties there.

The directory structure is, stresstest/hibernate. In "hibernate", I have a file called BoatListing.java, and a mapping file called BoatListing.hbm.xml.

I've tried,

Configuration m_oConfiguration = new Configuration().addClass(BoatListing.class);

"INFO: Mapping resource: stresstest/hibernate/BoatListing.hbm.xml
net.sf.hibernate.MappingException: Resource: stresstest/hibernate/BoatListing.hbm.xml not found"

There is definately a file in stresstest/hibernate called BoatListing.hbm.xml.


Configuration m_oConfiguration = new Configuration().addClass(stresstest.hibernate.BoatListing.class);

"INFO: Mapping resource: stresstest/hibernate/BoatListing.hbm.xml
net.sf.hibernate.MappingException: Resource: stresstest/hibernate/BoatListing.hbm.xml not found"

There is definately a file in stresstest/hibernate called BoatListing.hbm.xml.


Configuration m_oConfiguration = new Configuration().addFile("BoatListing.hbm.xml");

"SEVERE: Could not configure datastore from file: BoatListing.hbm.xml"

I thought the datastore got configured in hibernate.properties. This error doesn't make much sense.


I've tried moving the BoatListing.hbm.xml file up to /src, and moving the hibernate.properties and hibernate.cfg.xml down to /src/stresstest/hibernate, with no luck.

The doc doesn't seem to mention these issues (a trouble-shooting section with common issues would be nice). I am using the latest Hibernate 2.1 with JDK 1.4.2 under Eclipse 2.1.

I hope I'm not doing anything really stupid, but the after reading and re-reading the docs, it looks like it should be straight forward.

Thanks in advance for any help.
David.

Try adding a leading /. That sometimes helps.

Was a .jar problem - two versions of Hibernate (1.2 and 2.1) on my computer.

I read this thread

http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.ph ... te+cfg+xml

and see there is 2 properteis in hibernate that we can use hibernate.properties and hibernate.cfg.xml

I see that Galvin's Workshop use hibernate.cfg.xml.

I try the code to read the User, Item in that workshop using my own code, if I use hibernate.cfg.xml, it is not working, but if i use hiberante.properties.

Anyone can help me how to use that cfg.xml in my code

Thanks

Frans

"not working" is a too vague description for us to help

This mean I cannot make the hibernate.cfg.xml work, but using hibernate.properties. I put it in the class path. But The Workshop work well. I still cannot understand how it work?

So, if you willing to help me, that is my wish?
:)
