org.hibernate.MappingNotFoundException

Question

I am trying to do a simple hibernate program. I am following the steps given in this tutorial.

The Error that I am getting is

   org.hibernate.MappingNotFoundException: resource: org.manu.dtd.UserDetails not found
    at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.addResource(Configuration.java:799)
    at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.parseMappingElement(Configuration.java:2344)
    at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.parseSessionFactory(Configuration.java:2310)
    at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.doConfigure(Configuration.java:2290)
    at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.doConfigure(Configuration.java:2243)
    at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:2158)
    at org.manu.dtd.TestHibernate.main(TestHibernate.java:16)

Here is my folder structure

My persitence class with annotations is

package org.manu.dtd;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;

@Entity
public class UserDetails {

    @Id
    private int userId;

    private String userName;
    public int getUserId() {
        return userId;
    }
    public void setUserId(int userId) {
        this.userId = userId;
    }
    public String getUserName() {
        return userName;
    }
    public void setUserName(String userName) {
        this.userName = userName;
    }

}

My hibernate.cfg.xml file is

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

<hibernate-configuration>

    <session-factory>
        <!-- Database connection settings -->
        <property name="connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property>
        <property name="connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE</property>
        <property name="connection.username">user</property>
        <property name="connection.password">password</property>
        <!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) -->
        <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>

        <!-- SQL dialect -->
        <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect</property>

        <!-- Disable the second-level cache  -->
        <property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider</property>

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

        <!-- Drop and re-create the database schema on startup -->
        <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>

        <mapping resource="org.manu.dtd.UserDetails"/>

    </session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

And finally my main program is

package org.manu.dtd;
import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class TestHibernate {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        UserDetails user = new UserDetails(); 
        user.setUserId(23);
        user.setUserName("Renu");
        System.out.println("setting values complete");
        try {
        SessionFactory sF = new Configuration().configure("hibernate.cfg.xml").buildSessionFactory();
        Session session = sF.openSession();
        session.beginTransaction();
        session.save(user);
        session.getTransaction().commit();
        }
        catch (HibernateException he) {
            he.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

}

Can anyone please help me out to resolve this issue.

Answer 1

Well it looks it can be fixed even easier. You should use <mapping class=..> instead of <mapping resource=..> as resources is for mapping other xml files describing entities and such. Here is small example from the offical tutorials

Answer 2

Provide fully qualified name for hibernate configuration mapping file,

SessionFactory sF = new Configuration().
            configure("/org/manu/dtd/hibernate.cfg.xml").buildSessionFactory();
