Getting "hibernate.cfg.xml not found" even though it is at the root of my JAR

[Dave Alvarado]

Hi,

I'm creating a JAR application using Hibernate 4.1.5.SP1 and running on a JBoss 4.2.3.GA server. At the root of my JAR file, I have a hibernate.cfg.xml file, however, it's not getting found, and I'm wondering what crazy class loader issues may be going on. I load the file like so

	final Configuration hibConfiguration = new Configuration().configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");

and the error I get is

2012-08-09 13:55:00,020 ERROR [org.quartz.core.ErrorLogger] Job (default.job.12.1344537880443 threw an exception.

Any ideas what's going wrong? The hibernate.cfg.xml file looks like

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

	</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

I have this META-INF/jboss.xml file ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<jboss>
	<!-- setup classLoader repository. java2ParentDelegation to always have 
		package libs override server libs for this application -->
	<loader-repository>
		org.mainco.subco.dido:loader=myclient
		<loader-repository-config>
			java2ParentDelegation=false
		</loader-repository-config>
	</loader-repository>
</jboss>

What else can I check? Thanks, - Dave
