Answer 1

You need to close the tag <hibernate-configuration.

<hibernate-configuration>

There is not the ! character in the DOCTYPE:

<DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

Should be

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
    "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
    "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

Answer 2

I faced the same issue. It turns out that system is not able to access the hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd from the url provided.

    <DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
    "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
    "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

So, I referenced it from the local system.

    <!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration SYSTEM
    "classpath://org/hibernate/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

Worked well for me. Hope it helps!
