Hibernate .hbm.xml files path in application?

I am having this lines of code from documentation

 private void createAndStoreEvent(String title, Date theDate) {
        Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
        session.beginTransaction();

        Event theEvent = new Event();
        theEvent.setTitle(title);
        theEvent.setDate(theDate);
        session.save(theEvent);

        session.getTransaction().commit();
    }

Here I am not giving path of Event.hbm.xml file to Hibernate and my doubt is which directory the hibernate refers to find Event.hbm.xml for mapping of Event.java entity class?. Now i am saving Event and Event.hbm.xml file in same package.

In your hibernate-configuration xml, you should usually define your other hbm files as follows;

     <mapping resource="com/domain/Event.hbm.xml"/>

Normally, Event.hbm.xml should end up in the runtime classpath in the same package as the Event.class file. Something like /WEB-INF/classes/foo/bar/ if it's a Web application. That being said, putting it in the src folder might be ok since your IDE should automatically put it in the /WEB-INF/classes/foo/bar during the build.
