Hi,

When i deploy my struts+hibernate application on tomcat i get the following error:

**** Initilizing HibernatePlugIn for HRIS**********
Error while initializing hibernate: Resource: org/theclass/candidate/view/Candidate.hbm.xml not found


I have hibernate.cfg.xml under WEB-INF/classes & WEB-INF/src directory

hibernate.cfg.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"

"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

</hibernate-configuration>

Here is HibernatePlugin.java:

package org.theclass.candidate.view;

import java.net.URL;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;

import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.MappingException;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet;
import org.apache.struts.action.PlugIn;
import org.apache.struts.config.ModuleConfig;


public class HibernatePlugin implements PlugIn {


private String configFilePath = "/hibernate.cfg.xml";

public static final String SESSION_FACTORY_KEY
= SessionFactory.class.getName();

private SessionFactory factory = null;

public void destroy() {
try {
factory.close();
} catch (HibernateException e) {
//log.error("unable to close factory", e);
System.out.println("Unable to close Hibernate Session Factory: " + e.getMessage());
}
} //EOF destroy

public void init(ActionServlet servlet, ModuleConfig modConfig)
throws ServletException {
System.out.println("**** Initilizing HibernatePlugIn for HRIS**********");

ServletContext context = null;
Configuration config = null;
URL url = null;


try {

//ClassLoader finds the Hibernate.cfg.xml file

url = HibernatePlugin.class.getResource(configFilePath);
context = servlet.getServletContext();
config = (new Configuration()).configure(url);
factory = config.buildSessionFactory();


//Store Hibernate Factory object in Servlet Context
context.setAttribute(SESSION_FACTORY_KEY, factory);
System.out.println("Storing SessionFactory in context");


} catch (HibernateException e) {
System.out.println("Error while initializing hibernate: " + e.getMessage());
}

System.out.println("*************************************");

} //EOF init


public void setConfigFilePath(String configPath) {
if ((configPath == null) || (configPath.trim().length() == 0)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"configFilePath cannot be blank or null.");
}

System.out.println("Setting 'configFilePath' to '" + configPath + "'...");
configFilePath = configPath;
}

} //EOF HibernatePlugIn class

What could possible be wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
