Where to find the DTD of Hibernate?

Question

The DTD in the hibernate jar is a good way to know what are the attributes that can be included and the expected name for that tag.

Opening up the DTD file is the easiest way to get an overview of all elements and attributes, and to view the defaults, as well as some comments.

This will help the programmer to write hibernate.cfg.xml file from scracth(crazy but some people do ask this to achieve without using internet :O )

Please tell where to locate the DTD when we have a hibernate jar.

This is not a programming question but will be helpful for programmer.

Answer 1

Hibernate 5 and newer

DTD:

hibernate-core-5.2.10.Final.jar\org\hibernate\hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd
hibernate-core-5.2.10.Final.jar\org\hibernate\hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd

XSD:

hibernate-core-5.2.10.Final.jar\org\hibernate\hibernate-configuration-3.0.xsd
hibernate-core-5.2.10.Final.jar\org\hibernate\hibernate-mapping-3.0.xsd    

Hibernate 4

hibernate-core-4.3.5.Final.jar\org\hibernate\hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd 
hibernate-core-4.3.5.Final.jar\org\hibernate\hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd 

and Hibernate 4 was upgraded to use XSDs as well:

hibernate-core-4.3.5.Final.jar\org\hibernate\hibernate-configuration-4.0.xsd
hibernate-core-4.3.5.Final.jar\org\hibernate\hibernate-mapping-4.0.xsd

Hibernate 3

For old versions, like hibernate3.jar you can find them under:

hibernate3.jar\org\hibernate\hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd
hibernate3.jar\org\hibernate\hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd

For any version 3.x or above not listed here, you can find these files in your hibernate-core-X.x.Final.jar archive under the org.hibernate package
