Question

I am following Java Hibernate tutorial example from YouTube. Everything looks great until I try to run code which is supposed to create table Employee on Apache Derby server. I tried to use SQL server (2008) first and I was getting the same error.
Could not parse configuration: hibernate.cfg.xml and there is also timeout error. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Here is the error I get:

Here is my hibernate.cfg.xml file:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!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">org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver</property>
        <property name="connection.url">jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/HibernateDb;create=true</property>
        <property name="connection.username">user</property>
        <property name="connection.password">password</property>

        <!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) -->
        <property name="connection.pool_size">2</property>

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

        <!-- Enable Hibernate's current session context -->
        <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>

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

    </session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

And, here is the code I am running:

package com.hibernate.chapter1;   
import org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration;
import org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport;
public class TestEmployee {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AnnotationConfiguration config = new AnnotationConfiguration();
        config.addAnnotatedClass(Employee.class);
        config.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");

        new SchemaExport(config).create(true, true);
    }    
}

What did I do wrong?

This means the hibernate.dtd cannot be resolved – its resolution is attempted on the server. The dtd is contained in the jars files – see here and here for how to resolve it.
