My current Environment is :
Web Server - Tomcat 5.5
IDE - Eclipse 3.4.2
AXIS2
jdk1.5
Hibernate Core version 3.3.1.GA for Java

I archived all my *.hbm.xml and *.cfg.xml in a jar file (E.g.my_hibernate.jar) instead of having huge list of hibernate files :

Then -

Under Eclipse workspace I have a dynamic project (E.g. my_project) and dropped them under location
WebContent\WEB-NF\classes.

My hibernate.cfg.xml has the resources defined by name instead of the jar file name
<mapping resource="xxx1.hbm.xml" />
<mapping resource="xxx2.hbm.xml" />

-Under Tomcat I dropped the my_hibernate.jar under location
under webapps\axis2\WEB-INF\classes

It seems that having the jar does not help as i get failed.org.hibernate.MappingNotFoundException:.
Is there a limitation that one can't jar the hbm's and the cfg's. If not how can one package these files in a jar and deploy them successfully on my tomcat? What if there is a huge list of such hibernate files, how can one compress them easily?

Thank you.

Under Tomcat I added all my *.hbm.xml and *.cfg.xml to a jar file (E.g myhibernate.jar) instead of have huge list of hibernate files visible under webapps\axis2\WEB-INF\classes
