Hi,

I am trying to use Hibernate 2 with Weblogic 7 and am facing a strange problem, I have kept my hibernate2.jar in \WEB-INF\lib and the hibernate.cfg.xml in the \WEB-INF\Classes folder and when I try to build a session factory using the following line

SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

I get the following error.

<Mar 21, 2005 8:25:51 PM IST> <Error> <HTTP> <101017> <[ServletContext(id=1721585,name=TestAPP,context-path=/TestAPP)] Root cause of ServletException

at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:1230)
at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:1216)
at jsp_servlet.__getdata._jspService(__getdata.java:118))

Also i am having the "TestTable.hbm.xml" and TestTable.class under web-inf/classes/com/test


Any thoughts would be really helpful.

Thanks,
Jack

If you want to customize your configuration file you must to define your configuration:

private static String CONFIG_FILE_LOCATION = "/hibernate.cfg.xml";

then you must to istantiate your coonfiguration:

private static final Configuration cfg = new Configuration();


and then:

cfg.configure(CONFIG_FILE_LOCATION);
sessionFactory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();


with all the try / catch

The error is when hibernate configures the mapping resource. Its not able to locate the TestTable.hbm.xml document. If i remove the <mapping resource="com/test/TestTable.hbm.xml"/> in the hibernate.cfg.xml it doen't throw any error. Below is the error i get when i add the mapping resource in hibernate config file.

The TestTable.hbm.xml and TestTable.class is located in the WEB-INF/classes/com/test. Below is the exception. It throws the error even when i try to add the resource using addResource() or addClass().
