Exception during parsing hibernate.cfg.xml

Question

Hi am writing a simple hibernate program using anotation, below is my hibernate.cfg.xml file:

 <!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.OracleDriver</property>
    <property name="connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:XE</property>
    <property name="connection.username">vikas</property>
    <property name="connection.password">vikas</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.internal.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>

    <!-- Name the annotated Entity -->
    <mapping class="org.vikas.hibernate.dto.UserDetails"></mapping>
</session-factory>

When i am trying to rum my program it throws following exception:

   16:41:07.592 [main] ERROR org.hibernate.util.XMLHelper - Error parsing XML:

Could you please tell me, where i am going wrong.

The message complains about the line 56, and the file you posted doesn't have so many lines, so either you didn't post the whole file, or this file is not the file that Hibernate parses. — JB Nizet

I have removed some comments from config file, line number 56 is: </session-factory> — user1906074

The problem is one wrong character or missing character in your file.

For example in the line

   <property name="connection.password">vikas</property>>

you have an extra '>' at the end. I don't know if this is the error or if it happened when you removed the comments. If this is not the error then have a look for other wrong characters. This even might be an invisible character (but not a simple space, they are harmless). One time it happened to me the error was a missing line feed after the </hibernate-configuration> tag.
