OK, I've created an application using JBuilder 8 and I can run my
servlet and display data I've retrieved using hibernate.

I've tried to deploy the war file created by JBuilder into a stand-alone
Tomcat installation but I get a MappingException: Resource: <file-name>.hbm.xml not found. I added the mapping files by hand using
the java2 sdk jar tool: jar -uvf jarfile.jar WEB-INF\classes\*.* and
I verified the contents with: jar -tvf jarfile.jar.

Any suggestions on how to configure this *.war file so that the mapping
metadata will be found?

Thanks

Hmmm, nevermind. For some reason jar -uvf jarfile.jar WEB-INF\classes\*.* didn't add the two alphabetically first files in the classes
directory to the jar. Seems like someone trying to skip . and .. but mucking it up.
