Hi All,
I am using the WebSphere server using EJB1 and I am using EAR files for deployment. When I start up the ear for my Data access service Ear.

I am getting an exception in a start up bean. Its in DocumentAppStartUpBean implements javax.ejb.SessionBean.
Right when we try to get the session factory for hibernate it throws the exception.
The code is blowing up in sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure("hibernate.cfg.xml").buildSessionFactory();
The error occurs when I am starting up our data DataAccessServiceEar. So if I was running under Tomcat
I would guess that the hibernate3.jar needed to be in the WEB-INF directory; however, since this i
s WebSphere and we are using EJB I am not sure where to look next.

I guess the WebSphere server is not seeing the hibernate jars?

The directory for the server is C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WID7_WTE\runtimes\bi_v7\lib I put the jars there as well and still no luck...

Any suggestions...
Thanks,
Mark
