Hi,

I would like to keep Hibernate DTDs locally instead of going over the internet at runtime. As per the hibernate developers manual, during the hibernate config parsing, first it searches the DTDs within the classpath and use it if found. Or else it goes over the internet. However, I couldnt get it working. I have kept DTDs within classpath + they are also part of hibernate3.jar and still it gives below error while loading hibernate config -

Could someone plz help me resolve this issue? Do I have to write my own EntityResolver?

Thanks for sending the link...

I had xerces-2.6.2.jar within my classpath... removed that file as per suggestion posted by someone in the thread.... and I'm still getting the same problem...

Below are the examples of mapping and configuration file I'm using -

<?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 package="com.onebeacon.diarytracking.ormapping.domain">
...
</hibernate-mapping>



<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
...
</hibernate-configuration>


Do you guys see any error in this DOCTYPE definition? This problem is driving me crazy....

Help !!

        DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
        db.setEntityResolver(new DTDEntityResolver());
        Document doc = db.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(hibernateConfigData)));
        sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure(doc).buildSessionFactory();
