My hibernate.cfg.xml has following code :

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd"&gt;
<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        <mapping class="com.sufalam.mailserver.bean.Admin"/>
        //....All classes mapping...
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Can anybody tell me what should be the problem exactly ?

Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

Could not parse configuration: jndi:/localhost/MailServerV2/WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml

Sounds like it can't find the xml file (did you check it can access it?) or it is somehow malformed. Please post relevant pieces of the hibernate.cfg.xml.

And check that you don't have multiple jars on the classpath which contain the same classes (e.g. somehow dom4j twice on the classpath)

Answer 2

Hi Nirmal, I've run into problems in the past with special characters causing problems when sharing xml between windows and linux. Open your hibernate.cfg.xml inside a plain text editor vim and make sure you don't see any strange characters. Here's some more info.
