Hi am writing a simple hibernate program using anotation, below is my hibernate.cfg.xml file:

 <!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
    "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
    "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
 <session-factory>

    <!-- Database connection settings -->
    <property name="connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</property>
    <property name="connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:XE</property>
    <property name="connection.username">vikas</property>
    <property name="connection.password">vikas</property>>

    <!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) -->
    <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>

    <!-- SQL dialect -->
    <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect</property>

    <!-- Disable the second-level cache  -->
    <!-- <property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.internal.NoCacheProvider</property> -->

    <!-- Echo all executed SQL to stdout -->
    <property name="show_sql">true</property>

    <!-- Drop and re-create the database schema on startup -->
    <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>

    <!-- Name the annotated Entity -->
    <mapping class="org.vikas.hibernate.dto.UserDetails"></mapping>
</session-factory>

When i am trying to rum my program it throws following exception:

    The problem is one wrong character or missing character in your file.

    For example in the line 

       <property name="connection.password">vikas</property>>

    you have an extra ‘>’ at the end. I don’t know if this is the error or if it happened when you removed the comments. If this is not the error then have a look for other wrong characters. This even might be an invisible character (but not a simple space, they are harmless). One time it happened to me the error was a missing line feed after the </hibernate-configuration> tag.
