Place Hibernate configuration in a different location

Question

The ideal place for Hibernate configuration files (.hbm.xml) is

.../tomcat/webapps/projectName/WEB-INF/classes/hbm

But I want to place those configurations settings in a different location, say

/usr/local/properties/hibernate

How can I do that?

If I place that configuration files in that location and if I start Tomcat then it gives me an error on loading that configurations saying

hibernate.cfg.xml not found

To configure location of .cfg.xml file use Configuration.configure(File) instead of Configuration.configure() when creating SessionFactory.

To configure location of .hbm.xml files use Configuration.addDirectory().
