Hi All ,

A very happy new years eve - eve to everyone

I am trying to use Hibernate 2 with Weblogic 8.13 and am facing a strange problem, I have kept my hibernate2.jar and the hibernate.cfg.xml in the <project>/APP-INF/lib folder and when I try to build a session factory using the following line

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

I get a

net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found
at net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.getConfigurationInputStream(Config
uration.java:849)
at net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:873)
at net.sf.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:860)

Any thoughts would be really helpful.

no thoughts .. anyone ?

It works great of I give an absolute path for the cfg file..

Don't know Weblogic in detail but I assume your lib directory is not in the classpath. I think only the jars in the lib dir are made available to your application. Put hibernate.cfg.xml in a directory like "classes" or in your application jar/war whatever you use?!

hibernate.cfg.xml is not found in your classpath.
so, if your application is a web application, put the file under
\WEB-INF\classes.

borland2004's post is correct:
- Place all jar files in APP_INF/lib
- Place hibernate.cfg.xml in your classes directory

I have exactly the same setup running in a production environment on WLS 8.13
