cfg. xml to specify required Hibernate properties in my examples. Most of the properties take their default values and it is not required to specify them in the property file unless it is really required. This file is kept in the root directory of your application's classpath.
If you are working on IntelliJ Idea then make a folder named "resources" under src\main\java. Open Module setting of your project, select "Modules" from left and in the "sources" tab select the newly created "resources" folder and mark it as "Resources". then this should work.

Hibernate Configuration File(cfg file) is the file loaded into an hibernate application when working with hibernate. Hibernate uses this file to establish connection to the database server.It is an XML file which is used to define below information. Standard name for this file is hibernate.
I am new to Hibernate, reading this book "Java persistence with Hibernate" and I am trying to implement the example from there. So far my Ant build is successful, but when I try to execute the class containing the main method I am getting this error message:
