I am new to hibernate and am using eclipse.

I have a project with the following structure

src
---hibernate.cfg.xml
---log4j.properties
---com
------allegro
---------event
------------Event.java
------------EventManager.java
------------Event.hbm.xml
lib
data
bin

I point to EventManager.java and then use the Run as application from the eclipse menu. This generates the following error. How do I specify the location for hibernate.cfg.xml and log4j.properties to be used???

Thank you.

Initializing Hibernate
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Environment).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found
at net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.getConfigurationInputStream(Configuration.java:886)
at net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:910)
at net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:897)
at src.com.allegro.events.EventManager.<init>(EventManager.java:22)
at src.com.allegro.events.EventManager.main(EventManager.java:32)

Here is the code for EventManager.java if its helpful to see whats wrong
:

package src.com.allegro.events;

import net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException;
import net.sf.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class EventManager
{
private SessionFactory sessionFactory = null;

public EventManager()
{
try
{
System.out.println("Initializing Hibernate");
sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
System.out.println("Finished Initializing Hibernate");
}
catch(HibernateException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main (String args[])
{
EventManager instance = new EventManager();
System.exit(0);
}

}

Place the cfg and log4j files in a /WEB_INF/classes directory,
(or)
otherwise ensure that the directory (src) is in the classpath.

1. The app i am running is a standalone java application that uses Hibernate.

2. I resolved the issue by correcting a few package nuances.

Thanks.

I was wondering if you can give some more detail about what you did. I'm experiencing the same problem.

Thanks,

I had some hastle with this. I wound up loading the configuration explicly in the code.



The string is a resource path, as used by ClassLoader.getResource() i.e. relative to the class path directories.

This shouldn't be necessary, as I understand it, but I still need it under Hibernate 3.

[/code]

for some reason log4j.properties and hibernate.cfg.xml is not copied to the build directory where you run your classes from with eclipse.

that happens automatically for me.

ask in the eclipse newsgroups if it keeps bugging.
