I have an Eclipse RCP app using Hibernate which works fine when attached to the network. However when I run the code on a machine that is disconnected from the network, I get the following message indicating that the hbm.xml file for my class cannot be found:

org.hibernate.MappingException: Error reading resource: myclass.hbm.xml

I have read the posts suggesting changing the dtd header, upgrading the parser version, and playing with the classloader without success. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve this issue. Thanks,

Dave

post the full exception stack trace

You have old xml-apis.jar and xerces-x.x.x.jar - try with last hibernate version or delete
cml-apis and xerses from library path

What is your hibernate version ?

Do you have <!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping SYSTEM "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd"> at the top of the mappings and main configuration file? Are you using Hibernate 3?

If your answers are no and yes, your app is probably failing because it is going to the Internet in search of the version 2 DTD.
