Hi all,

I have some hbm.xml files that hibernate doesn't seem to like. The files were generated with hibernate synchronizer and as far as I can see there aren't any problems with them.

Here are the error messages I get from tomcat

org.hibernate.HibernateException: Could not parse configuration:
at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.doConfigure(Configuration.java:1376)
at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:1310)
......

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)
Caused by: org.dom4j.DocumentException: Error on line -1 of document : Premature end of file. Nested exception: Premature end of file.
at org.dom4j.io.SAXReader.read(SAXReader.java:482)

Here is the hbm.xml file



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

<hibernate-mapping package="za.co.abc.model">
<class
name="Region"
table="region"
>
<meta attribute="sync-DAO">false</meta>
<id
name="Id"
type="java.lang.Long"
column="id"
>
<generator class="native"/>
</id>

<property
name="Description"
column="description"
type="string"
not-null="false"
length="30"
/>
<many-to-one
name="Province"
column="province_id"
class="Province"
not-null="false"
>
</many-to-one>


<set name="Suburbs" inverse="true">
<key column="id"/>
<one-to-many class="Suburb"/>
</set>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>


Any help or pointers appreciated.

thanks

problem seems to be with DTD file,
put the hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd in tomcat classpath

or change the dtd path in hbm.xml to somewhere on your local drive
