Question

I am using the latest jars for hibernate. (i.e. hibernate-release-4.0.1.Final )
In the previous versions i was getting proper output.
I replaced the hibernate jars and there was a exception.

org.hibernate.InvalidMappingException: Unable to read XML

I read some blogs and changed the doctype to

<?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">

Still the error persists.

i am attaching my cfg.xml and one of my hbm.xml (as all 10 cant be attached)

Plez let me what is the problem and what should be the solution.
Thank you

Check this out

        <set name="setPhones" cascade="all" lazy="true">
            <key column="EMPLOYEE_ID" not-null="true" **cas**></key>
            <one-to-many class="Phone"/>
        </set>

From the log you attached ” from log Attribute name “cas” associated with an element type “key” must be followed by the ‘ = ‘ character. Nested exception: Attribute name “cas” associated with an element type “key” must be followed by the ‘ = ‘ character.”
is the cause of the problem.

“there is no attribute called “cas”.
