Hibernate.cfg.xml not found

Hi,

I am new to Hibernate and am trying to build a test program to run. When I call Configuration's config method, I receive an exception say that it cannot find hibernate.cfg.xml. I went under my user environment variables and added the location to the classpath, but I still receive the same results

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

Greg

The fact that your location is in an environment variable (I presume CLASSPATH) does not mean that your runtime uses it. And for very good reasons!

It is a common (and very good) practice for Java processes to setup Java classpath in the command line via –cp option. Please consult your tool (presumably IDE) how to setup classpath there.

I am not sure what is going on in your environment. Seems to be your class path still is not set properly. Try something like that

Code:

Configuration dbConfig = new Configuration();
dbConfig.configure(this.getClass().getResource(hibernate_cfg_xml_file));

or/and put config file in root of your package.

if it does not work, you for sure have wrong class path set
