Hii,

I am so sorry about this simple question but I am really stuck about it...


my configuration is tomcat5.0 web server and postgresql 8.0 DB ...


I want to use hibernate3.0.5 ..


I am going on the official tuttorial of hibernate but I dont understand the "global classloder path" ... what does it mean?


I think context path indicates exactly our play ground in webapps/myproject/ folder...

but what is the exact path of global classloader path ? ... :)

I need to copy my db files to global classloader path (that is what tutorial says)....

I believe that what they mean is:

You have a classpath for Tomcat that will be shared by every application deployed on tomcat. You can set this classpath on your startup script or you can include jars by copying the to common/lib and/or shared/lib. (Please read Tomcat's documentation if you want the exact details).

There is also a web application classpath (libs within the war file etc.) that is not shared amongst the many webapps that can be deployed on a single instance of tomcat.

I believe the tutorial tries to make a distinction between the two.

I hope that help.

Vincent.
