Hi

I am having a strange problem.

If i name my conf file as hibernate.properties and mapping file as map_table.properties.
This works perfectly well.

But if i name my files as

hibernate.cfg.xml and map_table.xml
my Configuration fails to recognize files it throws a file not found error.

This has nothing to do with file path or location even if i move file location and give the correct path com/db/beans it picks up the file only when i use .properties extension and not .xml or .con.xml extension.


Can't figure out why it's not working, because this is the standard name given in almost all tutorials.

What is your development environment??

I've seen that some eclipse plugins may change the list of filtered resources by adding *.xml and *.html to it. Maybe that is your problem if you are using eclipse.

To check if that is the problem, go to Window->Preferences, than on the menu tree go to Java->Compiler->Building. In that page, there is a list of filtered resources.

i think u must use .hbm extension for ur mapping file.
for eg., Users.hbm.xml

The .hbm extension is only a convention so it's optional.

Be sure to include your XML mapping files in the Hibernate config file. Check caps and paths.

u may be include DTD file for ur mapping file....

check out ur DTD setting in ur mapping file...

Thank you all for replies.

Development environment is Eclipse.

DTD tag is this

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


Do you think it could be because i am using an online ref to dtd file.
How can i put it locally.

What does your SessionFactory code look like?
Did you use a generator to product the code or write it?
Finally, what does your config file look like?

use like this

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping SYSTEM "E:\hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">

where "E:\hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd" place for ur dtd file.

download dtd file in ur system.
