where is the error

this is my file structure

this is my config.xml

this is my main class

in this main class line AnnotationConfiguration().configure().buildSessionFactory(); gives this error

AnnotationConfiguration is a class. How do you create a new object from a class?

Please post only the code relevant to the question. This is a compilation error--no configuration file is involved.

i am using this exaple
http://www.vaannila.com/hibernate/hibernate-example/hibernate-annotations-1.html

Okay. See the difference? You were already told what the problem was, and the code in the link is not the same as yours where the problem is.

Did you recheck the code with the example that you took it from? Clearly it's not the same. And Devaka already told you what the problem is with that piece of code.

ok.I have added new keyword to main class.

anyway when i run the example it gives this error.

I think it is not creating sessionfactory ?

Hard to say, since you don't post the rest of the stack trace. Do you have the annotated class?

I debug the code

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
org/hibernate/cfg/AnnotationConfiguration
null

And the libraries you're deploying are...?

Come on: we've been over this stuff many times: TellTheDetails.

mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin
hibernate-annotations
hibernate-commons-annotations
hibernate3
ejb3-persistence

I'm skeptical, because the error *clearly* indicates which class isn't found.

now it is change the error

anyway my Configuration.cfx.xml file in the project folderr

It should be on the classpath. I don't understand why you have to make this so difficult, over and over.

I am using Eclips IDE.
I creatred the config file using
File -> New->Other ->Hibernate -> Hibernate Configuration File

So what? It needs to be on the classpath.

How to add it to classpath?

Put it in your source directory?

i have added.
Still have errors.

i add a debug line in
session=new AnnotationConfiguration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
after debug pointer come to this line i press F5.
then this error comes.

i have added 3306 to the url in config.xml

<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/school</property>

the error is still there

Do you see the error? There's a class missing.

Which jar shuold i add?

I think if you don't know how to figure that out you should take a step back before trying to deal with an ORM, because if you can't figure out how to fix the *simple* things when something goes wrong fixing the *complicated* stuff that can happen in Hibernate is going to be a pretty tall order.

- What class is missing?
- What jar is it in (and how do you know)?
- If you *think* you're deploying that jar, how can you find out if you're right?

The answer must be 42

Mark

what do you mean 42?

Exactly

i don't understand what is mean by 42.

42 is the answer to the ultimate question (life the universe and everything) in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It is used as a joke.

I tried this in Netbeans 6.8 & I hope it will work in Eclipse.

Another thing please create one HibernateUtil.java in Project as shown at Vaannilla Tutorial.
Don't try to create SessionFactory at main class.Use HibernateUtil class getSessionFactory() Method.
