Where exactly should hibernate.cfg.xml be?

Hi,
I've tried these:

- / (the root of my web-app)
- /WEB-INF/
- /WEB-INF/classes

but none of them works, I always get "/hibernate.cfg.xml not
found"

thanks,
Jari

Exactly, it has to be seen by the classloader that load Hibernate.

/WEB-INF/classes should work

depends of your servlet container

Are your library files in /WEB-INF/lib ? Your hibernate.cfg.xml should be in /WEB-INF/classes, I am pretty sure. What call do you use to configure hibernate?

Yes, they are in WEB-INF/lib and hibernate.cfg.xml is in WEB-INF/classes. I use

Code:

sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

to configure.

Hm, this sould work in my oppinion, have you tried something like

Code:

Configuration.configure(this.class.getClassLoader().getResource("hibernate.cfg.xml"));

or something like that ...

Thanks a lot, that does it. Very strange thing is that yesterday when I compiled the application in JBuilder, it worked well, hibernate and all, but compiling it with Ant caused the "not found". The war's themselves were identical except some included libraries. Well, live and learn.

thanks again,
Jari
