Hi Guys,
I came across this issue from a colleague of mine ! Well he created an EAR project with only a WAR project no EJB's. He is trying to follow the approach of jsp -> servlet (hibernat -> DB).

As you can see the java files and xml would now be under WAR project. I wanna know were to put hibernate.cfg.xml, cause after trying different locations I came back fruitless..

One last thing: I had to add hibernat-jars on websphere server (6.0) classpath as adding them to EAR and refering them in WAR doesn't work !!
Adding to Jar Dependency - work via ejb or ejb client project (which in this case doesn't exists)

Hi,
If anyone has a similar problem, I was able to get in working with the introduction of a java project (containing all hibernate classes, xml files) and add this project as "jar" via EAR to the WAR in MANIFEST.MF (jar dependecy edtior).

This was a work around so if anyone solves the original problem please do let me know too.

It seems to me the classloader of WAR module is different from the rest i.e classloader for EJB module, Client module & EAR module. I can also safely say that inside WSAD every module uses a seperate classloader.

You can add the hibernate related jars in the WEB-INF/lib directory. And the Hibernate.cfg.xml file should be in class path. So you can put it directly under WEB-INF/classes of you Web Module (WAR).

OR

You can create a lib directory under your EAR. And in the web module(WAR) class path just lib/xxxxx.jar. This will also work.

Did you deploy your Hibernate app onto WAS v5.1.2? If yes, could you spare time to share your experience with the community? the deadline for my project is comming... :( thank you!
