Can not load hibernate.cfg.xml

Question

I was going through a hibernate tutorial and faced this problem. Here is my code

public class HibernateTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(args[0]);
        User user = new User();
        user.setId(1);
        user.setName("John Smith");
        SessionFactory sessionFactory = createSessionFactory();
        Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
        session.beginTransaction();
        session.save(user);
        session.getTransaction().commit();
    }

    public static SessionFactory createSessionFactory() {
        Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
        configuration.configure();
        ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(
                configuration.getProperties()).build();
        return configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
    }
}

And here is the structure of my project.

But I'm getting an exception, saying

Exception in thread "main" org.hibernate.HibernateException: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found
    at org.hibernate.internal.util.ConfigHelper.getResourceAsStream(ConfigHelper.java:173)
    at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.getConfigurationInputStream(Configuration.java:2095)

Is the file in the classpath ?

Move the file into src/main/resources where it will be copied into your classpath at build time

hibernate.cfg.xml has to be on the classpath. Files like that are considered a resource, and should be put under src/main/resources, which is put in the classes folder by build tools.

It's clear in the error that hibernate.cfg.xml file is not in CLASSPATH.

Exception in thread "main" org.hibernate.HibernateException: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found

To keep the file in CLASSPATH, either move it to the folder /src/main/resources (or) put the current location of the file in CLASSPATH.

It's clear about moving into resources, but how do I add another folder to classpath?

@Carmine Seems you are using Maven for build. Refer this post to add a directory to Maven classpath. stackoverflow.com/questions/1324767/…
