Hibernate configuration with mysql gives ERROR - SAXParseException

Question

I'm trying to configure hibernate with mysql.

Following is the hibernate.cfg.xml:

<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>    
        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/TestDB</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.password">root123</property>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>


        <property name="hdm2ddl.auto">create</property>property>
        <property name="show_sql">false</property>


        <!-- Use the C3P0 connection pool provider -->
        <property name="hibernate.c3p0.min_size">5</property>
        <property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_size">20</property>
        <property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout">300</property>
        <property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_statements">50</property>
        <property name="hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period">3000</property>

        <mapping resource="com/psl/course/Course.hbm.xml"/>

    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

However, I'm getting following error. Stack trace is is follows,

Help please, where am I going wrong?

can you show us the content of <mapping resource="com/psl/course/Course.hbm.xml"/> I think its mapping exception on Course.hbm.xml — MBarsi
There's a silly typo error as below in comment! That was the problem. Thanks for your reply though:) — Uday
Before running the project, you should validate the XML if you are using an IDE. — Ravi Parekh
