Since I have started working with Hibernate I am facing similar kind of problem so many times. The problem is explained as below,

1. Several time I wont be able to find location of cfg file even i am keeping hardcoded absolute path for Configuration.
2. If application able to detect cfg file then hbm files are not able to locate.

When I am running application without webserver at that time everything goes fine. But if I debloys it on WebServer(Tomcat) then locating such file is task of god only.

I have tried several combinations and permutation but no way out was found. I am not sure if it is proble with Hibernate or Tomcat.

I really appreciate If anybody can share solution of this problem

Thanks,

Please put this file under WEB-INF/classes.

Even though it is not working. I have mark this problem several times with differnt machines.
