I have mapping resources pointing to *hbm.xml files.  I get deployment errors that tell me 'resource: *hbm.xml not found', so entities are not being mapped correctly - this stack trace is due to the User.hbm.xml not being found, 14:44:34,654 INFO  [org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration] (MSC service thread 1-9) HHH00042:Configuring from file: hibernate.cfg.xml 14:44:34,668 WARN  [org.hibernate.internal.util.xml.DTDEntityResolver] (MSC service thread 1-9) HHH00223:Recognized obsolete hibernate namespace http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/.

|-pom.xml | |-src |  |-main |     |-java |     |   |-com... businessobjects |     |-resources |     |   |-META-INF |     |-webapp | |-test we have hibernate.cfg.xml in src/main/resources/META-INF, and various *.class and *hbm.xml in src/main/java/com/businessobjects/.  Our hibernate.cfg.xml 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"> <hibernate-configuration>        <session-factory>       <property

</hibernate-configuration> I've tried different paths to point to the *hbm.xml files - none seem to work.  I've even tried giving it the absolute path to the *hbm.xml files, that didn't work either. I've also tried copying the *hbm.xml into the same directory as hibernate.cfg.xml - that also didn't work, same error. Looks like it errors out at this point in the code of my HibernateUtil class     static {         try {                         InitialContext ctx      = new InitialContext();                         Configuration configuration = new Configuration();                         Properties properties = new Properties();     sessionFactory = configuration.configure(new File("/path/to/src/main/resources/META-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml")).buildSessionFactory();           } catch (Throwable ex) {             // Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed             log.error("Initial SessionFactory lookup failed.", ex);             throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);         }          } Any ideas what's going on?  Thanks     -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/621940#621940] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
