Hello Everyone.
I'm using Tomcat 4.1.31, and observed a similar problem on 4.1.18.

It is possible to deploy web applications to a location of one's
choice, other than <CATALINA_HOME>/webapps/<app_folder>, by adding
a <Context> to server.xml.
With such a setup, I've been stuck with Tomcat not seeing resources
that the documentation on their respective websites claim to be just
a matter of placing in WEB-INF/classes and people confirming success at it.
Examples are log4j.properties, hibernate.properties and hibernate.cfg.xml.

So, is this the expected behaviour?
If I install the web application in e.g c:\\myWebApp
I'd consistently have Tomcat complaining as follows:

INFO [http-8080-Processor25] cfg.Environment (<clinit>:483)
  - Hibernate 2.1.8
INFO [http-8080-Processor25] cfg.Environment (<clinit>:512)
  - hibernate.properties not found
INFO [http-8080-Processor25] cfg.Environment (<clinit>:543)
  - using CGLIB reflection optimizer
INFO [http-8080-Processor25] cfg.Environment (<clinit>:572)
  - using JDK 1.4 java.sql.Timestamp handling
INFO [http-8080-Processor25] cfg.Configuration (configure:909)
  - configuring from resource: /hibernate.cfg.xml
INFO [http-8080-Processor25] cfg.Configuration
  (getConfigurationInputStream:881)
  - Configuration resource: /hibernate.cfg.xml
WARN [http-8080-Processor25] cfg.Configuration
  (getConfigurationInputStream:885)
  - /hibernate.cfg.xml not found
ERROR [http-8080-Processor25] persistence.HibernateUtil (<clinit>:19)
  - Initial SessionFactory creation failed.
  net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found

Possible workaround's include initialization servlet for log4j and
use of ResourceBundle to pass in an absolute path for Hibernate.
But still, the documentation says place the config files under WEB-INF/classes
and they'll be found...
Not so, unless it's <CATALINA_HOME>/webapps/WEB-INF/classes.

Rico.
