I cannot make hibernate read my config file stored at a specific location. I am using Hibernate 2.1




Here is the error log

I have ofcourse tried with both slash and backslash?

Well apparently there is an error here. This way works, This is NOT how its stated in the manual.

I am trying to do something like this. I want to do something like:

Configuration().configure("test.cfg.xml");

The test.cfg.xml file is located in the same directory / package path as hibernate.cfg.xml.

This is my dump:

14:19:23,703 INFO Configuration:900 - configuring from resource: test.cgf.xml
14:19:23,703 INFO Configuration:872 - Configuration resource: test.cgf.xml
14:19:23,718 WARN Configuration:876 - test.cgf.xml not found

at net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:901)
at config.SessionManager.connect(SessionManager.java:52)
at config.ConfigTest.main(ConfigTest.java:51)

any help?

!!!! You use "test.cgf.xml" instead of "test.cfg.xml
/ Anders

Sorry, that was just a typo. Actually "test.cfg.xml" is used in both places. That isn't the problem. Same error exists.

I am receiving the same error when I specify an absolute path to the hibernate.cfg.xml file. I am running the latest Hibernate 3.0.1. Here is a section of my code.


I receive the following error message:



Is this a bug in Hibernate 3.0.1 or is the Configuration method .configure(String) intended for something else? I double checked the existence of the file at that location and I checked the file permissions. I am running Hibernate on Red Hat Enterprise 3 linux system.

Thanks,

Try:

SessionFactory sessionFactory =
new Configuration().configure(new File(filename)).buildSessionFactory();

Or try Configuration().configure("/test.cfg.xml");

I read somewhere this has something to do with the class loader at hand, and in my own tests, that simple slash made a big difference.

In your example, does the test.cfg.xml have to be located somewhere in the classpath? In my original example, the path/config file was located outside the classpath.

Thanks,

Configuration.configure(String) uses classloader semantics for the String argument, not an absolute pathname. I agree, the JavaDoc could be more clear that "application resource" = classloader resource.

Hello,

We had the same error in house for quite some time and we found a workaround for this one.


to make things work, we now use :

// -----------------------------------------------------

URL configFilePath = TheseosRepositoryAccessor.class.getResource(theConfigFilePath);

Configuration myConfiguration = new Configuration();
myConfiguration.configure(configFilePath);

hibernateFactory = myConfiguration.buildSessionFactory();

// -----------------------------------------------------


This way makes things work. It seems that configuring from an URL is a lot more easy than with a file ;-)

This should solve your problems,
