Hello,

Please help:

hibernate.cfg.xml is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

        <property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.password">localhost</property>

        <!--SQL dialect-->

        -->
        <!--Echo all executed SQL to stdout-->
        <property name="show_sql">true</property>

Main class "HibernateTest" is as follows:

import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistryBuilder;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry;

/**

public class HibernateTest {
    private static ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry;
    private static SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    public static void main(String[] args){
        

        UserDetails user= new UserDetails();
            user.setUserId(1);
            user.setUserName("Test");
        System.out.print("Test");
            try{

            Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
            configuration.configure();
            serviceRegistry = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).buildServiceRegistry();
            sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
            Session session= sessionFactory.openSession();
            session.beginTransaction();
            session.save(user);
            session.getTransaction().commit();
            }catch (HibernateException ex) {
                System.err.println("Failed to create sessionFactory object." + ex);

            }  finally {
                System.out.print("Test");
            }
    }

Thanks in advance

Check where is your hibernate.cfg.xml located. Also include mapping tag in your hibernate.cfg.xml, for the hbm file

..the path is in src, I have tried to hardcode it in the main class as shown below, but I still get the error. Is there any other trick to check the path, thanks

import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistryBuilder;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry;

/**
 * @param
 */
public class HibernateTest {
    private static ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry;
    private static SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    public static void main(String[] args){
        

        UserDetails user= new UserDetails();
            user.setUserId(1);
            user.setUserName("Test");
        System.out.print("Test");
            try{

            Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
            configuration.configure("src/hibernate.cfg.xml");
            serviceRegistry = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).buildServiceRegistry();
            sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
            Session session= sessionFactory.openSession();
            session.beginTransaction();
            session.save(user);
            session.getTransaction().commit();
            }catch (HibernateException ex) {
                System.err.println("Failed to create sessionFactory object." + ex);

            }  finally {
                System.out.print("Test");
            }
    }

}

Thank you in advance

..Hello,

This worked - put the "hibernate.properties" file in my "/src/java" directory.

Thanks.

Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.configure("src/hibernate.cfg.xml");

Configuration.configure() looks into the classpath, so need of src/hibernate.cfg.xml. Just go for

   configuration.configure();  

You can also do this : (with hibernate.cfg.xml, removing properties file)

Configuration configuration = new Configuration();  
            configuration.configure();

Now I am getting this error: org.hibernate.HibernateException: could not instantiate RegionFactory [net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory"]

..I have done the configuration for the region factory as follows

 <property name="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class">net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory"</property>
        <property name="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache">true</property>
        <property name="hibernate.cache.use_query_cache">true</property>
        <property name="hibernate.generate_statistics">true</property>
