Hello,

I have several web applications accessing same POJO used to map my tables with hibernate, so I decided to put these POJO and their "*.hbm.xml" into one JAR that I put in the classpath of my web applications...

Then in my web application, I have the file hibernate.cfg.xml where I define the path for my "*.hbm.xml" files => but it doesn't work...
And if I moved the files from my jar to my web application project => it works!

why?
is it possible? If not any idea how to do?

TIA

Thanks for help!

Here is my hibernate.cfg.xml

If you see something strange...

Note : The file "org/wgt/base/mapping/Contact.hbm.xml" is in a JAR file defined in my classpath....so...


Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>

    <session-factory name="HibernateSessionFactory">

        <!-- Database connection settings -->
        <property name="hibernate.connection.datasource">jdbc/WGTDB</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.username">db2user</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.password">db2pass</property>


        <!-- SQL dialect -->
        <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect</property>

        <!-- Echo all executed SQL to stdout -->
        <property name="show_sql">true</property>

        <!-- Drop and re-create the database schema on startup -->
   

        <mapping resource="org/wgt/base/mapping/Contact.hbm.xml"/>

    </session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>
[/code]

I use mapping files in jars for all my web application. I don't use the XML config format but one thing that looks odd to me is that in the mapping element that names the mapping file I always have a starting slash. So I'd have /org/wgt/base/mapping/Contact.hbm.xml. This is of course presuming that the mapping file is actually located on that path within the jar.

the forward slash is not necessary. I'm sure if gaetmail looks around he/she will find that some minor detail has just been overlooked.

Here is my (simplified) architecure of my webapp


WEB-INF
|
|-------config
| |----------hibernate.cfg.xml //shown in previous post
|
|-------lib
|----------data.jar //include .hbm.xml and .class


In the JAR "data.jar" I have my files "org/wgt/base/mapping/Contact.hbm.xml" and
"org/wgt/base/mapping/Contact.java"


is this king of architecture possible?

do you know if I could had also "hibernate.cfg.xml" in my jar?

TIA!

it will work if you put hibernate.cfg.xml at the root of data.jar ... rememeber that means to use the no args Configuration.configure() call instead of Configuration.configure("some/path/hibernate.cfg.xml") .

if that doesn't work, you may be mistaken about the contents of the jar file.

it is better practice to keep them where they are. however, if want to put the .hbm files in the base, you would have to adjust the appropriate mapping element in hibernate.cfg.xml file.

Thanks everybody for your help!

I redone a complete test and it's now working...I do not know the mistake I did in previous test..maybe a wrong path...

However I've decided to keep only the hibernate.cfg.xml outside of my jar because it has database configuration that may change between wep abb where hibernate is use.
But My hibernateFilter and hibernateUtil are also in this jar....like this I have just very few things to do now to integrate hibernate in my web app!

THANKS AGAIN!

PROBLEM SOLVED!
