Hi All, Relative newbie to Hibernate. I'm using Eclipse 3 and have developed a standalone Java console application. It contains hibernate.cfg.xml in the project directory root. Everything works perfectly fine from within Eclipse.

However, when I export to a JAR and try to run it I get the following exception and log4j trace. I'm stumped. hibernate.cfg.xml is in the root of the jar as others have advised.


I've tried both of these to no avail.


I'm sure this a FAQ, but I'll certainly don't see the answer!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hibernate version: 2.1.4

Full stack trace of any exception that occurs:
net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found
at net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.getConfigurationInputStream(Configuration.java:849)
at net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:873)
at com.wrg.util.hibernate.MySessionFactory.currentSession(MySessionFactory.java:48)

Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:
19:37:48,591 INFO Environment:462 - Hibernate 2.1.4
19:37:48,591 INFO Environment:491 - hibernate.properties not found
19:37:48,601 INFO Environment:522 - using CGLIB reflection optimizer

19:37:48,601 INFO Configuration:844 - Configuration resource: /hibernate.cfg.xml
19:37:48,601 WARN Configuration:848 - /hibernate.cfg.xml not found

I should add that I'm running the app from the command line astheapp.jar has hibernate.cfg.xml in it's root.

should do the trick. Then just feed this to the configuration.

PERFECT!! Thanks Myk. That does the trick.
