Use :

 SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration()
        .configure("config/hibernate.cfg.xml") // give path to hibernate.cfg.xml (recommended)
        .buildSessionFactory();

        return sessionFactory;

Check here usage. Or directly keep hibernate.cfg.xml directly under src(not recommended).
