Question

I am using spring mvc3 and hibernate3. In my application i have a requirement to use a servlet.
In that servelet I have to call my DAO Layer. but when I am using following code in my servlet.

Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
public class HibernateUtil {
    private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;
    static {
        try {
            sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure()
                    .buildSessionFactory();
        } catch (Throwable ex) {
            System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }
}

I am getting error org.hibernate.HibernateException: hibernate.cfg.xml not found.

Currently my xml file is in WEB-INF folder along with other configuration file.

All solutions are saying I need to keep it in src folder so automatically it will be fetched at runtime. but I am using spring mvc here.
So i am little bit confuse please help me how to solve it.

all other places where I am using controller its working fine.

I am using following entry in carpool-servlet.xml

following is my carpool-hibernate.xml

  </session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

now how can I set my hibernate config.xml
Please help

Answer 1

Where is hibernate.config being set

p:configLocation="${hibernate.config}"

If you are using maven, you can move this file to src/main/resources then do classpath:hibernate.config.xml, otherwise if you’re not, move it within classpath under WEB-INF/classes as duffymo stated.
