I am trying to run the EventManager the very first tutorial and I am getting the following error where in it says hibernate.cfg.xml not found.

The file hibernate.cfg.xml not found is in the src folder and has been successfully copied over to the bin folder, but I am wondering why I am getting the error and how to fix this. I am very new to hibernate.

Ciao,

When you configure the sessionFactory try to specify the path to your file in the Configure method. Something like this:



It should work also without specifying the path if the hibernate.cfg.xml is copied in the right place, but maybe doing like this you can figure out where you are doing wrong. Look also in the inner exception ...if you have that.

Good luck!
