Hibernate SessionFactory setup with Spring

[fido]

Hi

I'm having problems setting the Hibernate mapping files in my applicationContext.xml file. I find it rather strange: It seems like Spring can't find one of my mapping files, even though the url is correct.. When I remove the one evil mapping-reference, wich Spring is not able to find, my testCase works perfectly fine..

My stacktrace follows:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [com/corporater/spring/applicationContext.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open class path resource [com/corporater/dir/Organisation.hbm.xml"]

Organisation.hbm.xml is located at:
C:\test_hibernate\src\bin\com\corporater\dir

I've tried moving around the other mapping files wich is originally located at:
C:\test_hibernate\src\bin\com\corporater\
but Spring seems to find these wherever we put them

I hope someone can help with this strange behavior from Spring ( or probably me.. ).

I fixed my problems by replacing
<property name="mappingResources"> with mappingDirectoryLocations

Actually I see a quote at the end of the inclusion of the problematic mapping file. This could have been the reason for the issue.
