Hi,

I am trying to configure Hibernate with JBoss.

What directory should I place the hibernate.properties file? I am getting an error message saying the hibernate.properties file is not found. I tried placing it in JBOSS_HOME/lib and JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for any help!

put it somewhere on the classpath! add it to a jar, but it in a classes dir somewhere....

The best way to use hibernate with JBoss is deploying it as an MBean, IMHO. There is more info about that here: http://www.hibernate.org/66.html

There is something wacky going on. Here is the deal...
When I access my session bean, execute a simple method call, access the DAO, invoke Hibernate -


First:
The JBoss console logs output from Hibernate saying the hibernate properties are loaded. Great!

Then:
I am getting a FileNotFound exception, saying the hibernate.properties file cannot be found; then JBoss spits out a message about the console appender looping (which I understand is a conflict between hibernate and jboss log4j configurations).

Will Hibernate and JBoss NOT play together nicely unless I package Hibernate as a SAR? (I am not too keen on deploying my Hibernate mappings and classes together as a SAR)

Anyone ever come across this issue??

Thanks for your responses!!!

Turns out, later on in the code, one of the DAOs was specically trying to load the hibernate.properties file from a location that didn't exist. I removed those lines from the code and all is well. Arrrgg...its always something stupid....
