Hibernate: Mapping not found exception

Started Hibernate from its official docs. I am stuck at the most basic step of configuring the xml files. Although I have done everything as described in the examples but it fails to find the `The mapping file`. This is the exception: ``` Exception in thread "main" org.hibernate.MappingNotFoundException: resource: testing/ground/beans/User.hbm.xml not found at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.addResource(Configuration.java:728) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.parseMappingElement(Configuration.java:2115) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.parseSessionFactory(Configuration.java:2087) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.doConfigure(Configuration.java:2067) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.doConfigure(Configuration.java:2020) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:1935) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:1914) at testing.ground.test.HibernateTest.main(HibernateTest.java:14) ``` The code with main(): ``` package testing.ground.test; import java.util.List; import org.hibernate.Session; import org.hibernate.SessionFactory; import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration; public class HibernateTest { private SessionFactory sessionFactory; public static void main(String[] args) { HibernateTest ht = new HibernateTest(); ht.sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory(); ht.getData(); } public void getData(){ Session session = this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession(); session.beginTransaction(); List list = session.createQuery("from users").list(); System.out.println(list); session.getTransaction().commit(); session.close(); } } ``` The Hibernate config file: ``` <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd"> <hibernate-configuration> <session-factory> <!-- Database connection settings --> <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property> <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/somedb?characterEncoding=UTF-8</property> <property name="connection.username">username</property> <property name="connection.password"/> <!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) --> <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property> <!-- SQL dialect --> <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property> <!-- Echo all executed SQL to stdout --> <property name="show_sql">true</property> <mapping resource="testing/ground/beans/User.hbm.xml"/> </session-factory> </hibernate-configuration> ``` I have tried to keep the folder structure same as that in the Hiberante examples: Please advice.
