hibernate invalid configuration exception

Question

I am new to Hibernate . My Hibernate configuration file is as follows:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<hibernate-configuration
    xmlns="http://www.hibernate.org/xsd/hibernate-configuration"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.hibernate.org/xsd/hibernate-configuration        hibernate-configuration-4.0.xsd"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

    <session-factory>
        <!-- Database connection settings -->
        <property name="connection.driver_class">org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</property>
        <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hibernate</property>
        <property name="connection.username">root</property>
        <property name="connection.password">QADEER</property>

        <!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) -->
        <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>

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

        <!-- Enable Hibernate's automatic session context management -->
        <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</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>
        <mapping class="org.test.Person"/>
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

I have the following Person.java class:

package org.test;

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

@Entity
public class Person 
{
    @Id
    private int id;
    private String name;

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

Main class:

package org.test;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class Main 
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        Person obj=new Person();
        obj.setId(1);
        obj.setName("qadeer");

        @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
        SessionFactory buildSessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
        Session session = buildSessionFactory.openSession();
        session.beginTransaction();
        session.save(obj);
        session.getTransaction().commit();
    }
}

when i run the code it give me following excwption.....

Answer 1

With Hibernate 4.x you should use the same DTD as 3.x:

<?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>

as you can see by this bug report , where the deprecation warning was removed. Also the tutorials for 4.2 version use this, as you can see here .

Answer 2

The exception clearly says Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 2; columnNumber: 25; Document is invalid: no grammar found. at Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 2; columnNumber: 25; Document is invalid: no grammar found. at Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 2; columnNumber: 25; Document is invalid: no grammar found. at which means that there is no baseline (define structure of the xml) to check your xml tags against.

You need to add the hibernate DOCTYPE , which is

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

Also check is your xml well formed, look for any unclosed tags, etc...

Answer 3

This is related to hibernate.cfg.xml . For hibernate 4.3.0 Final also should use dtd as shown below to resolve this error.

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

Answer 4

It is working after adding below

<?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">
