hi ,
I have the persistent class Person.java in a package named com.foo.hibernate and the correspoding mapping resource is in directory called persistence-config ( mapping resource-Person.hbm.xml) . I am trying to configure the mapping resource dynamically using the Configuration.addClass() providing the fully qualified name of Persistence class .Since the corresponding mapping resource is not under the same package , I am getting an error "Mapping resource not available" .How should I proceed .


Hibernate version:
3.1.3

Mapping documents:

Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():

config.addClass(com.foo.hibernate.Person.class)
Full stack trace of any exception that occurs:
[INFO] Configuration - Reading mappings from resource: com/foo/hibernate/Person.hbm.xml
org.hibernate.MappingException: Resource: com/foo/hibernate/Person.hbm.xmlnot found

Name and version of the database you are using:

The generated SQL (show_sql=true):

Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:

the hibernate JavaDoc says this about readClass(..):



So if you want o read the mapping document from another location than the convention try to use this method:


Read mappings from a particular XML file

If all of your mapping documents are in the same diretory you can use:



Read all mapping documents from a directory tree. Assume that any file named *.hbm.xml is a mapping document.

Good Luck!
