Hibernate Error: org.hibernate.InvalidMappingException: Could not parse mapping document from resource

Question

When I run the project, it occurs an exception as below. Before I add a view table in Hibernate, everyting got well include the Blame.hbm.xml and others. And it could read the data from database. The exception occurs in ShowOrderDaoImpl.java at this sentence: session=HibernateSessionFactory.getSession();

My exception

Solution

Looks like there is another mapping for pojo.Blame. You might had a copy/paste mistake:

<class name="pojo.Blame"

In another hbm file.

This

Caused by: org.hibernate.DuplicateMappingException: Duplicate class/entity mapping pojo.Blame

States that when reached a hbm file it already has a definition for a class named pojo.Blame.

Looks like in some of this files:

<mapping resource="pojo/Blame.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="pojo/Buyer.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="pojo/Dispute.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="pojo/Evidence.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="pojo/Goods.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="pojo/Message.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="pojo/Record.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="pojo/Seller.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="pojo/Staff.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="pojo/Trade.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="pojo/Fund.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="pojo/Showorderbybid.hbm.xml"/>

Is a misplaced <class name="pojo.Blame"

[MindHacks]

You mean where I should paste class name="pojo.Blame" to. Or which sentence should be replaced?

[Siddharth]

Yeah, this answer seems the most logical Duplicate class/entity mapping pojo.Blame. There is a typo somewhere in some hbm file. You have copy pasted your hbm files and forgotten to change the mapping / table.

[MindHacks]

Thank you, however I have checked all of my hbm files, there are correct class name as well as its table names. Hence I guess it is not the copy/paste issue. And before I add a view into Hibernate, my project runs well. I guess the problem in the view table "Showorderbybid".

[MindHacks]

Even I delete <mapping resource="pojo/Blame.hbm.xml" /> from hibernate.cfg.xml. It caused the same issue while the table changed to Buyer.hbm.xml.
