hibernatehibernate.cfg.xml

Where to place hibernate.cfg.xml?

My project is like this:

/src/main/java
     -thegamers
         -app.java
         -hibernateutil.java

can someone tell me where to put the hibernate.cfg.xml?

because I'm getting this error:

Initial SessionFactory creation failed.org.hibernate.HibernateException: hibernate.cfg.xml not found

Solution

  • The config file hibernate.cfg.xml needs to be on the classpath.

    This can be accomplished in different ways, depending on your project.
