I am rather new to Hibernate!

I have a class file and the related hbm file in the same directory.
net/elnk/abtestframework/model/ABTarget.class
net/elnk/abtestframework/model/ABTarget.hbm.xml


new Configuration().configure() detects the cfg file in the classpath but is unable to find the Resource hbm file.
What is it that I am doing wrong?
I have run out of ideas at this point!!! Any help would be really appreciated.

Name and version of the database you are using:

mysql 5.0

The generated SQL (show_sql=true):

Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:

Well, I found the issue.

Since I am running within tomcat, the jar file for my app was missing the *.hbm.xml files. I updated my jar file and getResourceAsStream is now happy.

Still a long way to go:)
