Hi all,

I am running the tutorial as a web application using Tomcat. When I run it, I receive an error saying that the Cat.hbm.xml file cannot be found. I put the file along with the class file in the classes folder under the WEB-INF folder.

I do not seem to have any problems getting to the servlet I created. I am also seeing the following message

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.hibernate.cfg.Environment
).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Greg

This is my hibernate.cfg.xml file

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="connection.datasource">
java:/comp/env/jdbc/PostgreSQL
</property>
<property name="dialect">
net.sf.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
</property>
<mapping resource="Cat.hbm.xml"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

put the following lines in a file called log4j.properties. place the file under /WEB-INF/classes and if you are still getting trouble, consult log4j documentation.

log4j.rootCategory=INFO, A1
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %c - %m%n

print the stack trace of the error you are getting, your hibernate.cfg.xml file, as well as the directory path and contents of Cat.hbm.xml.

you have <mapping resource="Cat.hbm.xml"/> in the conf file. This means you are telling hibernate to look in the root of the classpath (under classes dir). You need to change this to the actual path of the file, so,ething like

<mapping resource="org/hibernate/auction/Bid.hbm.xml" />

Thank you Dennis,

That worked.
