C:\Documents and Settings\svcWBRSYS\workspace\Hello\build.xml:61: org.hibernate.MappingException: Error reading resource: ./sks/datamodel/InventoryItem.hbm.xml



Please help me

Post all your mappings.

This is the only one and the one its chokeing on


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-mapping>

<class name="sks.datamodel.InventoryItem" table="Inventory_Item">

<id name="id" column="Inventory_Item_Id">
<generator class="identity"/>
</id>

<property name="name" column="Name" />


</class>



</hibernate-mapping>

Did your ant script copy the hbm.xml files to the classpath?

Remove the ./ in the mapping resource

Also define the mapping file more verbosely, e.g. set the type for the column etc.

I have another ant task that compiles and runs the class and successfully, but the only reason im doing this ant task is to generate the schema, because the

<property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>

does not work.

I tryed taking the "./" out and am giveing a proper path the src/datamodel package is a few packages down from my ant base directory.

It sees the hibernate config file on the root of the ant base directory, but it wont recognise any folders down from it when the config file trys to add the hbm.xml files.

I really like the idea of hibernate, but it just isnt working for me.
