"Could not locate cfg.xml resource [hibernate.cfg.xml]" error - sql

Question

When I run my createStudentDemo class I get the following error:
INFO: HHH000412: Hibernate Core {5.4.11.Final}
Exception in thread "main"
org.hibernate.internal.util.config.ConfigurationException: Could not
locate cfg.xml resource [hibernate.cfg.xml] at
org.hibernate.boot.cfgxml.internal.ConfigLoader.loadConfigXmlResource(ConfigLoader.java:53) at
org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder.configure(StandardServiceRegistryBuilder.java:215) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:258)
at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:244)
at
com.luv2code.hibernate.demo.CreateStudentDemo.main(CreateStudentDemo.java:15)
I don't understand why I have this error.
Here is the code of my createStudentDemo class:
package com.luv2code.hibernate.demo;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import com.luv2code.hibernate.demo.entity.Student;
public class CreateStudentDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// create session factory
SessionFactory factory= new Configuration()
.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml")
.addAnnotatedClass(Student.class)
.buildSessionFactory();
// create session
Session session = factory.getCurrentSession();
try {
//create a student object
System.out.println("creating new student object");
Student tempStudent = new Student("Paul", "Wall", "paul#luv2code.com");
//start a transaction
session.beginTransaction();
// save the student object
System.out.println("Saving the student...");
session.save(tempStudent);
//commit transaction
session.getTransaction().commit();
System.out.println("Done !");
}
finally {
factory.close();
}
}
}
and here is the code for my class student:
package com.luv2code.hibernate.demo.entity;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
#Entity
#Table(name="student")
public class Student {
public Student() {
}
#Id
#Column(name="id")
private int id;
#Column(name="first_name")
private String firstName;
#Column(name="last_name")
private String lastName;
#Column(name="email")
private String email;
public Student(String firstName, String lastName, String email) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.email = email;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "Student [id=" + id + ", firstName=" + firstName + ", lastName=" + lastName + ", email=" + email + "]";
}
}
and here is the code of my hibernate.cfg.xml file:
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

</hibernate-configuration>
and here is the location of my files:
Can someone help me please?

You hibernate.cfg.xml should be in classpath. Put it in src folder.
