XML Relative Path (hibernate configuration problem)

[Jacky Luk]

<?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">

    <session-factory>
 <!--       <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect</property> -->

        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver</property> 
        <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:odbc:bokss_patient_database</property>  //// here i am going to replace bokss_patient_database by a relative path
        <property name="connection.username"></property>
        <property name="connection.password"></property>
        <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
        <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
        <property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider</property>
        <property name="show_sql">true</property>
        
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

I am going to do this in Java SWING. The application is going to be portable. So the path can't be dead set.
Thanks
Jack

There's no "path" in that entry. The last part of the database driver URL is the DSN (data source name), which you configure into ODBC before running your code. I would suggest you get that configuration done and tested in a small application without Hibernate.
