hi everyone,

I am new to hibernate. But whichever application I see, it includes usage of ant in it.

How should i configure my application if i want it without usage of ant?

Please guide me.
Thank you.

Ant is a build tool. Hibernate doesn't require ant.

well thanx a lot . well atleast i knew that much. But what the problem is , if i run my application through ant, it works fine but if i run it through my IDE it gives error.

And the error is, it cant find hbm.xml files.

So m i missing any link? or some setting??

I hope u get my problem now.

Thanx in advance

There are many different ways to make hibernate find your hbm.xml files. See the different addXyz methods off the Configuration class.

Often the hbm.xml files are put into the classpath. Maybe this isn't the case in your IDE set up.
With eclipse you can add the directory with the hbm.xml files as a source directory, I don't know for other IDEs.

hey actually there was problem with my IDE. It doesnt do anything abt xml files at build time. So my problem is solved.

Thanx anyways.
