where to put the hibernate configuration file ?

[gk]

where do we put the hibernate configuration file ?

say, I have a class named 'person' and i have made a corresponding
configuration xml file called
'person.hbm.xml' .

Now question is, where do i put this xml file ?

(1) if the application is WEB APPLICATION

should i keep it in the WEB-INF folder where web.xml resides ?
will it work ?



(2) if the application is standalone application .

should i put the XML file in the same folder where the class file
resides ?

Thanks

Put 'Person.hbm.xml' where the class file is. It is a good practice to
have the mapping files where the coresponding classes are.
You specify in the hibernate configuration file where the mapping files
reside. For ex:

<mapping resource="Person.hbm.xml"/>

If you have Person.class in a package called 'com.model' for ex your
hibernate config file will contain

From here it depends which aproach you use for loading the config file,

but the mapping files are ok.
