Hello all,

I am using hibernate version 3. To load the config from the hibernate.cfg.xml, I using this strategy :

sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure($$location of the hibernate config file$$).buildSessionFactory();

I am getting this exception :

An I/O error occurred while parsing file: /app/config/hibernate.cfg.xml; nested exception is:
java.lang.Exception: An I/O error occurred while parsing file: /app/config/hibernate.cfg.xml

This issue is seen on some of my machines and some machines it works smoothly. Is it because of some DTD issue. Hibernate is already on the classpath.

Is this a classpath issue? I have tried the other way of initializing the sessionFactory (placing the hibernate config file on the classpath), this approach works fine for me. But at my company we dont want to go by thpalcing the config file on the classpath, so stuck with the I/O parse error.

Any help/ clues will be helpful.

Thanks

It kinda looks like it's a classpath issue. You mentioned that if you place the hibernate.cfg.xml in a folder that you know is in the classpath of your app, it works fine.

One of the reasons that it works on some machines (and not others) is that the path "/app/config" might already be included in a $CLASSPATH environment variable.

Have you tried explicitly including "/app/config" in the classpath of your app?

You can also try to print out the classpath used by your app using System.getProperty("java.class.path");

Good Luck.

That doesnt seem to work. The hibernate config folder(where the config file is ) is on classpath now.

Get the same exception.

Thanks

Hi shobhanakirtane,

Plz.. check your cfg file which has several tag which cfg file doesn’t support .

Can you post the xml file? Hopefully it's not too complex.
