Hibernate exception hibernate.cfg.xml not found
Solution 1
As @JBNizet said, your hibernate.cfg.xml
should be in src/main/resources. In src, it won't be added to your classpath for runtime.
If you are running your project within Eclipse, don't forget in the project preferences in the build path configuration to check that the src/main/resources
is not excluded from your class path and is indeed a source folder.
Solution 2
The file should be in the runtime classpath. Maven copies to the target/classes
folder the resources that are under src/main/resources
. So your config file should be there.
That said, you don't show the code which loads the file, so there might be other problems.
Solution 3
You can load hibernate.cfg.xml from a different directory (not necessarily the classpath) using the configure(File configFile) method that takes the hibernateConfig File argument. (note, am using hibernate 4.3.7)
Like this:
String hibernatePropsFilePath = "/etc/configs/hibernate.cfg.xml";
File hibernatePropsFile = new File(hibernatePropsFilePath);
Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.configure(hibernatePropsFile);
StandardServiceRegistryBuilder serviceRegistryBuilder = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties());
ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = serviceRegistryBuilder.build();
SessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);

I'm trying to start project with Hibernate and Maven.
I got such exception:
SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder". SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details. Exception in thread "main" org.hibernate.HibernateException: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found at org.hibernate.util.ConfigHelper.getResourceAsStream(ConfigHelper.java:170) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.getConfigurationInputStream(Configuration.java:2176) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:2157) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:2137) at FirstHibernate.com.myhib.CRUDS.CrudsOps.main(CrudsOps.java:15)
Here is the screenshot of my project structure, (hibernate.cfg.xml is in src/): http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/692/screenshotxba.jpg/
CrudsOps.java
package FirstHibernate.com.myhib.CRUDS; import org.hibernate.Session; import org.hibernate.SessionFactory; import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration; public class CrudsOps { /** * @param args */ public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub SessionFactory sf = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory(); System.out.println("Cfg and hbm files loaded succesfully"); Session session = sf.openSession(); session.beginTransaction(); System.out.println("Transaction began"); } }

What could be a source of that exception?

devger about 11 yearsUnfortunately, that didn't help. Updating my post with Java files.
-
JB Nizet about 11 yearsCan you find the hibernate.cfg.xml file under target/classes?
-
JB Nizet about 11 yearsThen either you ddn't rebuild your project with Maven, or you disabled the resource copying somehow in your pom.
-
devger about 11 yearsI did 'mvn package' command to rebuild project with Maven, is it correct? Posting my 'pom.xml'.
