This program executed fine for some time but now its started giving problem.

log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
org.hibernate.HibernateException: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found

I dont know where to set the hibernate.cfg.xml location in project.

Thanks in advance

Hi Sonal.

Currently where is your config file?

Try to place it inside WEB-INF/Classes..should work..

Hi MJ,

My Project is not J2EE based, its a core java project. Any ways thanks for help.
I Got the solution of my problem.

Problem was the location of hibernate.cfh.xml. By default Configration class take hibernate file location as /hibernate.cfg.xml which means the root of project. So knowing this we always put file in root of project.

But problem comes of our source and binary locations are different. so all configuration files should copy to binary locations (in war file or web-inf.classes) or actual binary location in case of core java based projects.

Any ways My problem got problem solved.
Thanks
Sonal

it should be at the root of your classpath, which is not necessarilly the root of your project.
Unless you explicitly point your application to a specific config file of course.
