HTTP Status 500 - Request processing failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found?

The thing is you shouldn't instantiate your hibernate configuration in your handle of a request but rather let spring instantiate your session factory and inject it into your controller and retrieve the session from there. Doing this, then you won't have to implement a session factory for each request made to your application.

Benzonico and KHY thanks for your inputs. The first mistake that I was doing was I placed the hibernate.cfg. Xml inside src/main/java/com/me/app/ which should have been src/main/java/.

This worked for me. The next part about TypedMismatch was.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
