Thanks very much especially to Hans Prueller for his assistance in getting us off the ground!

We hope this description will be helpful to others.

Thanks.
Your hibernate.properties loading probably comes to the fact you put hibernate jar in {%JONAS_ROOT%}/lib/ext
So the classloader that load Hibernate is the JONAS system classloader (or something like that). Thus, the hibernate classes cannot see hibernate.properties.

I usually pack hibernate libs in my ears and play with the manifest files. I think it's cleaner ; you can use different hibernate versions in one Jonas box.

Hi Emmanuel. Yes, I agree your approach would be cleaner. However, I have no idea how to do it. Can you please *post an example* of your manifest files? You've mentioned this technique in at least four different threads now, but you refrain from giving details :-)

I will joyfully update the wiki page with your superior technique if you can provide enough information for me to actually implement it! If you can't provide your example manifest files, can you perhaps provide some links to pages documenting how to set up manifest classpaths properly?

And/or, can you simply send me one of your Hibernate EARs to robj at nimblefish dot com -- that alone would probably answer all my questions...?

Thanks very very much!
Cheers,
Rob
