Somehow placing under  src  folder didn t work for me   Instead placing cfg xml as below    Project Folder  src main resources hibernate cfg xml   worked  Using this code  new Configuration   configure   buildSessionFactory   openSession      in a file under       Project Folder  src main java com abc xyz filename java   In addition have this piece of code in hibernate cfg xml   lt mapping resource  hibernate Address hbm xml    gt   lt mapping resource  hibernate Person hbm xml    gt    Placed the above hbm xml files under   EDIT    Project Folder  src main resources hibernate Address hbm xml  Project Folder  src main resources hibernate Person hbm xml   Above structure worked

This is an reality example when customize folder structure  Folder structure  and initialize class HibernateUtil   with   return new Configuration   configure   config hibernate cfg xml   buildSessionFactory      mapping    with customize entities mapping files            lt property name  hibernate dialect  gt org hibernate dialect MySQLDialect lt  property gt           lt property name  show sql  gt true lt  property gt           lt mapping class  com vy entities Users   gt           lt mapping class  com vy entities Post   gt           lt mapping resource  config Users hbm xml   gt                 lt mapping resource  config Post hbm xml   gt                      lt  session-factory gt   lt  hibernate-configuration gt     Note  Simplest way  if you follow default way  it means put all xml config files inside src folder  when build sessionFactory  only   return new Configuration   configure   buildSessionFactory

Using configure   method two times is responsible the problem for me  Instead of using like this        Configuration configuration   new Configuration   configure        configuration configure   main resources hibernate cfg xml      Now  I am using like this  problem does not exist anymore       Configuration configuration   new Configuration        configuration configure   main resources hibernate cfg xml      P S  My hibernate cfg xml file is located at  src main resources hibernate cfg xml  too  The code belove works for me  at hibernate-5  public class HibernateUtil     private static SessionFactory sessionFactory      static        try      Configuration configuration   new Configuration        configuration configure   main resources hibernate cfg xml        StandardServiceRegistryBuilder builder   new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder   applySettings configuration getProperties         sessionFactory   configuration buildSessionFactory builder build             catch Exception e            e printStackTrace                   public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory         return sessionFactory

Give the path relative to your project   Create a folder called resources in your  src  and put your config file there      configuration configure   resources hibernate cfg xml      And If you check your code   Configuration  configuration   new Configuration   configure   C   Users  Nikolay Tkachev  workspace  hiberTest  src  logic  hibernate cfg xml    return new Configuration   configure   buildSessionFactory      In two lines you are creating two configuration objects   That should  work haven t tested  if you write    Configuration  configuration   new Configuration   configure   C   Users  Nikolay Tkachev  workspace  hiberTest  src  logic  hibernate cfg xml    return  configuration buildSessionFactory      But It fails after you deploy on the server Since you are using system path than project relative path

In case of a Maven Project  create a folder named resources under src main folder and add the resources folder as a source folder in your classpath   You can do that by going to Configure Build Path and then clicking Add Folder to the Sources Tab   Then check the resources folder and click Apply   Then just use    SessionFactory sessionFactory   new Configuration   configure   buildSessionFactory

Another reason why this exception occurs is if you call the configure method twice on a Configuration or AnnotatedConfiguration object like this -   AnnotationConfiguration config   new AnnotationConfiguration    config addAnnotatedClass MyClass class     Use this if config files are in src folder config configure      Use this if config files are in a subfolder of src  such as  resources  config configure   resources hibernate cfg xml      Btw  this project structure is inside eclipse
