hibernate.cfg.xml not found?

Hey guys,

I'm having trouble reading the hibernate.cfg.xml. Actually, I'm having trouble locating it.

I'm using JBuilder2006 and Hibernate Version 3.0.

Here are the lines of code containing the pathfinding of my cfg.xml:

Code:

configFileURL = HibernatePlugIn.class.getResource(_configFilePath); 

            tempString = ""+configFileURL; 
            System.out.println(" tempString: "+tempString); 
            tempString = tempString.substring(6); 
            System.out.println(" tempString: "+tempString); 
            context = _servlet.getServletContext(); 

            if (_log.isDebugEnabled()) { 
                _log.debug("Initializing Hibernate from " 
                        + _configFilePath + "..."); 
            } 

            configuration = (new Configuration()).configure(tempString); 
            _factory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(); 

Using getResource, I'm loading the path of the config file, which is correctly found:

Quote:

configFilePath: /hibernate.cfg.xml
tempString: file:/D:/JBuilder2006/Projects/MCM/WebModule1/WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml
tempString: D:/JBuilder2006/Projects/MCM/WebModule1/WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml

Alright, the file is located in that folder. I've also put it into the folders

but he always tells me the same error, which is:

Quote:

08:31:37,317 INFO Configuration:1286 - configuring from resource: D:/JBuilder2006/Projects/MCM/WebModule1/WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml
08:31:37,317 INFO Configuration:1263 - Configuration resource: D:/JBuilder2006/Projects/MCM/WebModule1/WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml
08:31:37,347 ERROR HibernatePlugIn:132 - Exception while initializing Hibernate.
08:31:37,387 ERROR HibernatePlugIn:133 - Rethrowing exception...
org.hibernate.HibernateException: D:/JBuilder2006/Projects/MCM/WebModule1/WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml not found

So what's up with that? In which folder DO I have to put it now? Or is the problem somewhere else and I didn't find it?

Thanks for your help, it is really needed...

Hi!

Try to place your hibernate.cfg.xml in src foler. If we use two tables, we need to create two .hbm.xml files. for eg., i am using 2 tables 1.userlogin 2.studentinfo. so i need to create userlogin.hbm.xml and studentinfo.hbm.xm. files. These two files should be configured in hibernate.cfg.xml.

Try 2 ways for placing hibernate.cfg.xml file
1. Try to place your hibernate.cfg.xml file in src folder or
2. Try to plcace your hibernate.cfg.xml file in Hibernate session factory
located file directory or
3. Pls check the sample hibernate application

you need not specify the absolute file path for hibernate.cfg.xml.

(new Configuration()).configure(tempString);

The parameter tempString should be the classpath relative path to the hibernate.cfg.xml. So here you could directly pass _configFilePath to this method and it should work.

Hey, great!

Now he is able to find the file.
Got another error, but maybe I can solve that problem on my own now.

Thanks for the help!
