I'm working to store my config (hibernate.cfg.xml) and my mappings (*.hbm.xml) inside my JAR file... I've been able to get DOMConfigurator to load the config using the .configure(org.w3c.dom.Document) method; however, when it attempts to load the mapping files, it cannot find them.

I tried adding an EntityResolver that would point back into the JAR file, but it appears that the .configure() method is not using the EntityResolver.

Has anyone successfully stored all their XML files inside a JAR file? Any tips?

Thanks,

Norman Elton
