Duplicate class/entity mapping error

Hi all,
I am creating a new Hibernate project. In my SessionFactory class I call the following method to read my hibernate.cfg.xml file....

configuration.configure("/hibernate-esong.cfg.xml");

However this throws the following exception....

org.hibernate.InvalidMappingException: Could not parse mapping document from resource ESongBulkFile.hbm.xml

Here is my hibernate-esong.cfg.xml.......

Here is my ESongBulkFile.hbm.xml.....

I am running this on JBoss 4 and both of these XML files are in the WEB-INF/classes folder of my web application.

Thanks in advance for any help.

That error means you are trying to map an entity twice. Check the configuration file(s) in your classpath - is ESongBulkFile.hbm.xml mapped more than once? Or do you have another mapping file that uses the same class? Or are you calling the configure method more than once?

I found the problem. In the hbm file the property called "originalFilename" is repeated twice. I know this is my mistake, but Hibernate gave me a really bad error message. It really threw me off.

Thanks anyway for your help.

I agree. Maybe you should open a thread in the Hibernate forum and bring this to the notice of Hibernate developers who visit those forums regularly.
