Question

I want to insert to my postgresql database using hibernate and I quite or haven’t figure out why I keep getting this error, What I’m trying to do is I let the hibernate create my database table and column and insert to the created table. So my first error is about the missing jar files which is the slf4j which I already added to my Hibernate library, However after I run the application again new error pops up so this are my error:

90 [main] INFO org.hibernate.annotations.common.Version - Hibernate Commons 

Annotations 3.2.0.Final
100 [main] INFO org.hibernate.cfg.Environment - Hibernate 3.6.10.Final
100 [main] INFO org.hibernate.cfg.Environment - hibernate.properties not found

    at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:2137)
    at org.hibernate_main.HibernateMain.main(HibernateMain.java:13)

This are my Jar File(int the Hibernate library):

hibernate3.jar
antlr-2.7.6.jar
commons-collections-3.1.jar
dom4j-1.6.1.jar
javassist-3.12.0.GA.jar
jta-1.1.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar
postgresql-9.1-902.jdbc4

And my code:
Configuration(XML)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

UserDetail Class:

import javax.persistence.Id;

@Entity
public class UserDetail {
    @Id
    private int userId;
    private String userName;

}

My Main Class:

package org.hibernate_main;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.user_detail.dto.UserDetail;

public class HibernateMain {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        UserDetail user = new UserDetail();
        user.setUserId(1);
        user.setUserName("Jerome");

        SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
        Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
        session.beginTransaction();
        session.save(user);
        session.getTransaction().commit();
    }
}

Guys can you tell me what this error was and how to fix them, and how to test if the database connection in the XML is success or failed. thanks guys.

Answer 1

I think

  /hibernate.cfg.xml not found

is clear enough.

Make sure it’s in the CLASSPATH.

You can also specify it in:

return new Configuration().configure("/path/to/hibernate.cfg.xml" ).buildSessionFactory();

in your code above
