Common Causes and Solutions

File Placement

Incorrect File Name

Classpath Issues
If your project setup does not correctly include the src/main/resources directory in the build path, Hibernate will be unable to find the file. Ensure your build tool (Maven, Gradle, etc.) is correctly configured to include this directory.
