Hi all,

I am new with Hibernate. When I try to run it, i get the following error:

Code:

Initial SessionFactory creation failed.org.hibernate.HibernateException: Could not parse configuration: /hibernate.cfg.xml
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
   at com.vaannila.util.HibernateUtil.<clinit>(HibernateUtil.java:13)

   ... 5 more

below is my hibernate.cgf.xml:

Code:

<?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>
   <session-factory>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:mem:.</property>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.username">sa</property>
      <property name="connection.password"></property>
      <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
      <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property>
      <property name="show_sql">true</property>
      <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>
      <mapping resource="com/vaannila/course/Course.hbm.xml"/>
   </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Below is my HibernateUtil.java:

Code:

package com.vaannila.util;

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

public class HibernateUtil {
   private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;
   static {
      try {
         sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
      }catch (Throwable ex) {
         System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
         throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
      }
   }
   
   public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
      return sessionFactory;
   }
}

Below is my Main class:

Code:

package com.vaannila.course;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Iterator;
import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;

import com.vaannila.util.HibernateUtil;

public class Main {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Main obj = new Main();
      obj.saveCourse("Physics");
      obj.saveCourse("Chemistry");
      obj.saveCourse("Maths");
   }
   
   public Long saveCourse(String courseName){
      Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
      Transaction transaction = null;
      Long courseId = null;
      try {
         transaction = session.beginTransaction();
         Course course = new Course();
         course.setCourseName(courseName);
         courseId = (Long) session.save(course);
         transaction.commit();
      }catch (HibernateException e) {
         transaction.rollback();
         e.printStackTrace();
      }finally {
         session.close();
      }
      return courseId;
   }
}

i think u have problem in this line
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:mem:.</property>

if u r using any ide better u validate u r xml file before running it

Can you verify that the tool can actually find your config file? Maybe it can't even find the file?

Hi suigion,

you will have to prepend hibernate to the name of each property where it currently does not appear such that your hibernate.cfg.xml looks something like this:

Code:

<?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>
   <session-factory>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:mem:.</property>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.username">sa</property>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.password"></property>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.pool_size">1</property>
      <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property>
      <property name="hibernate.show_sql">true</property>
      <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>
      <mapping resource="com/vaannila/course/Course.hbm.xml"/>
   </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

You find an overview on constant field values at https://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/api/org/hibernate/cfg/Environment.html.

No, you don't.

Code:

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

That's the problem, you have a space in the URI between ".net/" and "hibernate-". Your XML parser asks Hibernate for this DTD and Hibernate says it can't find it in the hibernate3.jar locally (because of the space). Then your XML parser tries to load it online from sourceforge.net because this URI looks like an HTTP URL. Yes, that's a pretty stupid thing to do but that's how XML parsers work these days. Now that fails because you are behind a traffic filtering firewall or simply because sourceforge.net also doesn't know what "<space>hibernate-configuration..." is supposed to be.

hi Cameron,
Is there any problem if u use the tool xml parser..... or anything else?
the motive is to find the error and to correct that.isn't it
