I would like to use the "jar" attribute in my mapping file, but I have some issues. Using generates an exception:

Referencing a ".hbm.xml" file that is contained within the jar file by using works perfectly.

When using the resource should be contained in the classpath. I suppose that when I use the referenced jar file should be contained in the classpath. Is this correct or am I missing something ?

Hibernate version: 3.1.3

A workaround is to use an absolute path instead of a relative path. But it remains a workaround, not a real solution and it does not make the mapping file "cross-user" friendly.


It seems that Hibernate does not use the classpath for finding the referenced jar file. Which path is it using ?

I am assuming that you have placed the enotary-common.jar under /WEB-INF/lib/ directory if it is a web application. Keep the enotary-common.jar outside WEB-INF directory, it should work.

Your assumption is correct. I have copied enotary-common.jar outside WEB-INF, but that has not solved the problem.

Using

or

or

or

results in the same ZipException: The system can not find the file specified.

PS: I am using Tomcat v4.1.30.

We're having this identical issue. We need to specify a fully qualified absolute path to use a jar in hibernate.cfg.xml or persistence.xml, for example:

<mapping jar="c:/persistence.jar" />

Classpath settings seem to have no impact. I saw just a couple posting on this issue with no solutions - am I missing something?

Thanks!

我的应用程序是基于JSF的Web应用程序。

解决的思路是根据在WEB服务器端先得到应用程序的绝对路径，再加上jar文件的相对路径，如此就能正确执行了。

代码如下：

...

configuration.configure(configFile);
ServletContext servletContext = (ServletContext) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getContext();
String appRealPath = servletContext.getRealPath("/");
configuration.addJar(new File(appRealPath + "WEB-INF/lib/RightsManagementV1.jar"));
sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory();

...

注意：用此种方法，不需要在hibernate.cfg.xml中添加配置。
