Cannot find Configuration() in hibernate

Question

I am going to create a simple hibernateDAO project,

But in BookDao class (which implements bookDaoInterface ), I got this error in my getSessionFactory() method:

Here is project structure:

And this is maven pom.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hibernate configuration file ( hibernate.cfg ):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

What is wrong with my code?

Answer 1

You may have a wrong or missing import. Make sure you have this import at the beginning:

import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

and make sure that there is no other Configuration class imported from a different package.
