Hibernate.cfg.xml parsing error

Question

<

!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC  
          "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"  
          "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

I have this in my hibernate.cfg.xml file. I have the jars downloaded (from http://www.javatpoint.com/src/hb/hibernatejar.zip) in WEB-INF folder in eclipse workspace. Still it says hibernate.sourceforge.net is unreachable. I replaced it with www.hibernate.org/dtd and that is also giving same error. Please help me fix this.

Same issue in mapping file as well.

Error after adding classpath in DOCTYPE:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.hibernate.cfg.Environment).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

i have added the jars in WEB-INF/lib folder. Apart from that, I added them in java build path also. — NaveenBharadwaj

Your DOCTYPE definition refers to a DTD that is on hibernate.sourceforge.net. Now that DTD exists (I can browse it via Firefox) but your application cannot access it. The purpose of the doctype element is to link to a DTD.

Try using below

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
"classpath://org/hibernate/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">

I tried this also. This would mean it will refer from the DTD present in local. But the DTD is present only inside hibernate3.jar in my workspace. How do I point to the DTD inside jar?

@naveenbharadwaj which version of hibernate

NaveenBharadwaj Over a year ago

I'm not sure. I downloaded the jars from a site. These are the set of jars I have in my workspace. antlr-2.7.6.jar asm-attrs.jar asm.jar c3p0-0.9.1.jar cglib-2.1.3.jar commons-collections-2.1.1.jar commons-logging-1.0.4.jar dom4j-1.6.1.jar ehcache-1.2.3.jar ejb3-persistence.jar hibernate-annotations.jar hibernate-commons-annotations.jar hibernate-validator.jar hibernate3.jar jdbc2_0-stdext.jar jta.jar log4j-1.2.11.jar ojdbc14.jar xerces-2.6.2.jar

I extracted DTD's to a path and referred that in classpath. Now it is giving this error. Caused by: org.dom4j.DocumentException: unknown protocol: classpath Nested exception: unknown protocol: classpath at org.dom4j.io.SAXReader.read(SAXReader.java:484) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.doConfigure(Configuration.java:1481) ... 2 more

Following should be your complete DTD in hibernate.cfg.xml file

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" 
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

Also do not forget following at the start in the file

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Can you post full contents of hibernate.cfg.xml?

NaveenBharadwaj Over a year ago

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN" "classpath://org/hibernate/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd"> <hibernate-configuration> <session-factory> <mapping resource="lang.hbm.xml"/> </session-factory> </hibernate-configuration>
