I have searched many forums for the answer to this problem.
I keep getting the following error :
org.hibernate.MappingException: Error reading resource:

this is my mapping file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-mapping>

<class name="src.coniferworkbench.DBSequenceRead"
table="SEQUENCE">
<id name="sequence_pk" type="String" column="SEQUENCE_PK">
<generator class="native" />
</id>

<property name="seq_id">
<column name="seq_id" />
</property>
[...more properties...]

</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

any assitance or pointing to assitance would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance!

post the full stack trace

for some reason that is the only message in the stack trace. i believe it is because the error occurs while reading to initialize the session.

post the full line
org.hibernate.MappingException: Error reading resource:
but which resource?

post your hibernate.cfg.xml

it was the resource that i originally posted (the hibernate-mapping file). i just let 'myeclipse' generate new classes and now it doesnt produce that error. now i get a database foreign-key error; hopefully something that can be easily and quickly resolved.

thank you for your consideration, pepelnm.
