Spring – Hibernate mapping resource cannot be opened because it does not exist in a Spring + Hibernate Maven project

I am doing a Spring/Hibernate application using annotations to autowire the Service and Repository layers and have less configuration. All that seems to be done successfully since when I run the app everything seems initialized appropriately.

Problem

However, when I add the mapping resources in my applicationContext-datasource.xml I get an Error stating that the SessionFactory could not be properly initialized because it can seem to find my pojo.hbm.xml file. See:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [com/dariopardo/jfreechartdemo/pojo/Grid.hbm.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist

Setup

applicationContext-datasource.xml

My DAO layer

@Repository
public class K12DaoImpl extends HibernateDaoSupport implements K12DaoManager{

@Autowired
public K12DaoImpl(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
    super.setSessionFactory(sessionFactory);
}

@Override
public List<Grid> getAttendanceBySchoolOver95Pct() {

    List<Grid> list =    getHibernateTemplate().findByNamedQuery("studentAttendanceOver95Pct");
    return list;
}
}

My Service Layer

@Service
public class K12ManagerImpl implements K12Manager {

@Resource
private K12DaoManager k12DaoManager;

@Override
public List<Grid> studentPctAttendance() {

    return k12DaoManager.getAttendanceBySchoolOver95Pct();
}
}

If I comment the the hbm.xml in the mappingResources section everything seems to wire up correctly, but as soon as I bring any hbm.xml file in the mapping resources section the application fails to initialize.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
