Hi,

Welcome to JavaRanch!

I don't see "new Configure()" anyplace; I do see "new Configuration()" -- is that what you mean?

Please copy the whole stack trace and paste it into a reply to this topic; then we'll be better able to tell you what's going on.

Try putting you "D:/hibernate.cfg.xml" file in your root of your classpath.

yes i mean configuration() only
source of classpath means source where jars are kept or source where my class files are kept

classpath as in, you have a directory with source code in it for your model. so I have

c:\myproject\app\src\org\jboss\model\

in the classpath being set to c:\myproject\app\src, so that is the directory you would put your config file. Then you don't put a specific path to get to the config file, it is in your classpath.

Mark

Thanks Mark
