Hello friends -

Hibernate 2 + 3 mixed application running on Tomcat 5. Application has been generally stable for several years. This morning, anyone who needed to rebuild their session factory started bombing out. Log files indicate a dom4j.DocumentException

"Error on line 1 of document http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibern ... ng-2.0.dtd : The markup declarations contained or pointed to by the document type delcaration contained or pointed to by the document type declaration must be well-formed"

If I goto http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibern ... ng-2.0.dtd, I get a Maintenance message from the Jboss guys about how they'll be back up and running a few hours ago.

That being said, I've tried to replace references to hibernate-mapping-#.0.dtd to the local filesystem to no avail. I have replaced references in my application hibernate.cfg.xml to local and verified the path. I also have opened up hibernate2.jar and hibernate3.jar, exploded out hibernate-mapping-#.0.dtd and hibernate-configuration-#.0.dtd, replaced with local references, and pushed back into the jar files without any love.

I'm not clear where else I can monkey with files to have my application think it doesn't need to talk to hibernate.sourceforge.org. Can anyone help? Also, is anyone else having this problem? I'm thinking I would have run into this problem considering how long the application has been running.

Thanks.

brian

Hello friend -

Inappropriately posted to the HHibernate Users on accident. I think (?) this problem is likely something that crosses those lines, but just in case, I'm going to cross post. Sorry.
