To reduce start up time of application, i wanted to load dtd file locally instead of hibernate website. I updated hibernate dtd file (hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd, hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd) and all my xml file to load dtd from locally. Following is the line updated.


[i]old LIne[/i]
[b]http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd[/b]

[i]New line[/i]
[b]file:///C:/Work/UTE/java code/classes/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd[/b]

But i am getting parsing error. Could you please let me know how to resolve this?


Thanks in advance.

You're trying to fix something that isn't broken :) Hibernate already loads the DTD from the hibernate jar file. It will never go to the website unless you have mixed up the version of the DTD in your mapping files.

As per the topic discussed recently at follow link, someone (6th answer) mentioned that loading dtd locally can save time. That's why i am looking in to that.

Loading the DTD locally is the normal behavior for Hibernate, unless you have mixed up your DTD version, or, as Steve mentioned in that thread, if you have something else wrong in the DOCTYPE def.

As long as you have followed the docs and examples for your mapping files, hibernate will already load the DTD locally (from inside the hibernate jar).

Hope this helps.
