Hi there,

I create a Hibernate project as described in the Hibernate QuickStart tutorial. It works fine.
When I ran the wizard, it created the following files as described in tutorial:
Under com.nepatalk.hibernate package
AbstractUsers.java
BaseHibernateDAO.java
HibernateSessionFactory.java
IBaseHibernateDAO.java
Users.java
UsersDAO.java
Users.hbm.xml

I have Users table in mySQL database.

The wizard created hibernate.cfg.xml in src folder. In the quickstart tutorial, it showed that the file is created under com.nepatalk.hibernate package.
Anyway, I created UsersClient.java and tested the application. It works fine. I created a session bean named LoginBean in order to validate if the username and password is correct. I have the following authenticate() to check if the username and password is valid.

public boolean authenticate(String username, String password) throws EJBException {

boolean isAuthenticated = false;
UsersDAO usersDAO = null;
try {
usersDAO = new UsersDAO();

Users users = usersDAO.findById(username);

if (users != null && users.getPassword().equals(password) )
isAuthenticated = true;
} catch (HibernateException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
usersDAO.getSession().close();
}

return isAuthenticated;
}

When I run the application, I get org.hibernate.HibernateException: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found exception.

Does anyone have any idea? I have CONFIG_FILE_LOCATION = "/hibernate.cfg.xml" in HibernationSessionFactory class. I think this is correct, but I don't know why it keeps on saying /hibernate.cfg.xml not found.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
semaj

semaj,

If your hibernate.cfg.xml is in src folder, and HibernateSessionFactory contains CONFIG_FILE_LOCATION = "/hibernate.cfg.xml", then your src folder is not in source folder.Check that it is in source folder with Project properties>Build Path
