I have a deployment question when using Hibernate within a war file.   I have my mapping files and classes (and java files in fact) in a jar which is included in the WEB-INF/lib directory.  I also have a hibernate.cfg.xml file in the WEB-INF/classes directory (sample):
Code:
<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory name="foo">
        <mapping resource="/com/real/common/cmsdata/au/Bandwidth.hbm.xml"/>
        <mapping resource="/com/real/common/cmsdata/au/CategoryXmlLayout.hbm.xml"/>
...
...
When the code tries to configure the SessionFactory:
Code:
        Properties hibernateProperties = new Properties();
        try {
        [b]// I have stepped through this and its finding the properties fine[/b]
            String propertiesFile = config.getProperty("hibernate-properties", "hibernate.properties");
            InputStream is = getEbiContext().getContentClient().openStream("conf/" + propertiesFile);
            if (null != is) {
                hibernateProperties.load(is);
            }
        } 
        catch (IOException e1) {
            throw new EbiException("IO Exception encountered while reading Hibernate Properties.", e1);
        }
        
        Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
        cfg.setProperties(hibernateProperties);
        try {
            cfg.configure();
            cSessionFactory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();
        } catch (HibernateException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw e;
        }
I get the following exception:
Code:
2005-05-26 16:58:02,363 WARN applog.class com.real.common.cmsdata.HibernateManag
erContextFactory - Passed a null config object into start init.

        at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:1161)
        at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:1147)
Any suggestions as to how I can (if I can) have my mappings and classes in a jar file and the hibernate.cfg.xml file outside of that jar would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Ian.
