I attempting to migrate a JBoss mbean Hibernate deployment to WLS 8.1. I have a utility class called ServiceLocator which has the following code:

SessionFactory sf = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

I have tried to put the hibernate.cfg.xml file in the root of both the projEJB.jar and the proj.ear, with the MANIFEST containing a Class-Path: .

It does not load the hibernate mappings?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Vince

This is what I do on wl 6.1 ...

1) Domain entities and their mapping files get jarred up together as domain.jar
2) EJBs get built into services.jar (the ejb jar file) with the manifest classpath entries set to "." and "domain.jar"
3) EJBs get ear'ed with an appropriate application.xml with domain.jar and hibernate.cfg.xml in the root of the ear file.

I had some CL and manifest issues with WL7SP3+ and exploded ear.
Having hibernate.xfg.xml in a directory and referencing this directory on manifest CP works for me on WL7 (never tried .)

Steve, I have reorganized as you suggested. Manifests set, proj.jar and projEJB.jar in a proj.ear, with the hibernate.cfg.xml at the root of the EAR.

I still get a "hibernate.cfg.xml" not found error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Vince
