Hi friends

i am very new to hibernate

i read one tutorial on net and i try to practice that
i created
hibernate.cfg.xml
contact.hbm.xml
Contact.java
FirstExample.java
and all these files are in same folder f:\test
i am able to compile java files
but while running i am getting NullPointerException
because

Configuration cfg = Configuration().configure(new File("f:/test/hibernate.cfg.xml"));
SessionFactory sessionFactory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();

is not working
i hope the problem will be java file unable to locate xml files

how to do this (ie classpath setting )
give some idea

any help greatly cherished

Hi dude,

put your xml file in class path.and no need to give file name

Put your hibernate.cfg.xml in classpath and use the following in FirstExample.java

SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
