Hello,

I am using the org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration class to read in an xml file stored as a org.w3c.dom.document object with the config method.

My code looks like this:

InputStream inps = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/hibernate.cfg.xml");
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
document = parser.parse(inps);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.configure(document);
sessionFactory = config.buildSessionFactory();

The problem is that when the parser.parse method is called, the hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd is obtained from the internet instead of the jar file. This is a problem because the http request can't get past our firewall. It there a way to force it to use the DTD from the jar file?

Thanks in advance.

You want to provide a DTD Entity Resolver, like so:



See the javax.xml.parser package for the EntityResolver implementation.

You can also try to plug in Hibernate's Entity Resolver (although I haven't tried this myself):
