dear seniors...

i have tried a lot of example aplications using hibernate.
but i couldnt solve the errors i am getting when applied.
most of them are using ANT build type applications...

so i tried by myself doing some small applciation
to update some values to a table in our Database.
today i did that thing and its working !
but i am getting an exception like this....

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception building SessionFactory: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found
at com.celestials.celeshibdemo.HibernateUtil.(HibernateUtil.java:14)
... 38 more
Caused by: net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found


but i have hibernate.cfg.xml in webapps/celeshibdemo/web-inf/classes/ directory.


and my hibernate.cfg.xml contents are...

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration
PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-2.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="connection.datasource">java:comp/env/jdbc/celeshibdemo</property>
<property name="show_sql">false</property>
<property name="dialect">net.sf.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
<!-- Mapping files -->
<mapping resource="Cat.hbm.xml"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

the red marked thing is done in tomcat4/conf/server.xml file...
those lines are....
