Pb with hibernate.cfg.xml not in root of classpath

mopt · **Posted:** Tue Nov 25, 2003 11:18 am

Hi all,

I've a problem with my hibernate.cfg.xml. I put it in dir1\dir2\resources\hibernate.cfg.xml and my root of classpath is \dir1.

I have this exception :

Code:

54:51,093  INFO Configuration:794 - Configuration resource: \dir1\dir2\resources\hibernate.cfg.xml

54:51,093  WARN Configuration:798 - \dir1\dir2\resources\hibernate.cfg.xml not found

54:51,109 ERROR SessionHibernate:54 - Erreur hibernate \dir1\dir2\resources\hibernate.cfg.xml not found

Here is my java code :

Code:

chemin = "/dir1/dir2/resources/hibernate.cfg.xml" ;
            chemin = chemin.replace('/',File.separatorChar) ;
            sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure(chemin).buildSessionFactory() ;

Can u see where I did wrong ? Or should I put my configuration file only in \dir1 ?

Thx in advance for ur help :)

No sorry, it doesn't work either...

Hum remove

Code:

chemin = chemin.replace('/',File.separatorChar) ;

Hibernate will look at you CP, not physical file system.

By the way, I use Hibernate 2.1 b

Since hibernate will do a

Code:

Environment.class.getResourceAsStream(chemin);

then the file is not in the classpath associated with the classloader that load Hibernate.

I'm not sure I understand well. Does that mean that I MUST put it in the root classpath ?

Hum, actually you're right I can't remenber correct syntax out of root cp.

/myfile.xml will load the file in the cp root. I don't know otherwise.

Code:

URL configFileURL = Class.class.getResource(YOUR_PATH);
Configuration configuration = new Configuration().configure(configFileURL);

When I do as u said, I have this different exception :

Code:

java.lang.NullPointerException
   at net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:837)
   at dir1.dir2.SessionHibernate.initHibernate(SessionHibernate.java:50)
   at dir1.dir2.AdhesionServiceImpl.myMethod(myMethod.java:115)
   at TestCnxDB.main(TestCnxDB.java:34)

Got an idea ?

Check if the configFileURL is NULL.
If it is, the class loader couldn't load the path specified. I would guess that this is most likely because of an error in your path or because you didn't copy the xml file from your src directory to your build directory (or where ever you are trying to run the classes from).

Based on your previous messages I would guess that the call should look like this:

Code:

URL configFileURL = Class.class.getResource("/dir1/dir2/resources/hibernate.cfg.xml");

I'm guessing your path is something like "/com/yourcompany/resources/hibernate.cfg.xml" correct?

Are you deploying to some server such as with a WAR file or doing some other kind of file copy where the xml config file might not have been copied to the classes directory?

in my code I have something like

Code:

Configuration cfg = (new Configuration()).configure(new File("etc/Hibernate.cfg.xml"));

It works very well. Btw, the etc-dir is in the root of the classpath (the directory I start my app from).
