could be the class location mechanism is broken find your class in your classloader..you could use Spring Framework's ClassLoaderUtils http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/1.2.x/api/org/springframework/util/ClassLoaderUtils.htm org.springframework.util.ClassLoaderUtils(Class.forName("Your ClassName Goes Here").getCLassLoader); make sure all your configuration files *.hbm.xml are located in the same jar as the classes they refer to
if none of that works you may want to use a service registry such as OSGI explained here http://jira.springframework.org/browse/SPR-3740 not trivial as you would need to setup an OSGI Registry and register Services and place Spring Beans into the Service any access is thru service Martin Gainty ______________________________________________ Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung/Note de déni et de confidentialité Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.
