You shouldn't need to do this. Just add the hibernate.jar to the classpath of your container.
What about using Spring for the injection: http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_1_1/spring.html The Axis2 classloader strategy by default does not permit Spring to run inside the AAR. To allow Spring to run inside the AAR, the 'composite' parameter is used in the services.xml as shown in the example above. The behavior of 'composite' was the default in the development cycle in between 1.0 and 1.1, but it resulted in the JIRA issue AXIS2-1214 - essentially problems with getting an initContext.lookup() handle inside the AAR. Spring users typically have little desire to use initContext.lookup() however, as they get their Datasources via org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource in an xml file or with annotations. For ejb home references and the like, Spring provides JndiObjectFactoryBean. While fully testing JndiObjectFactoryBean with ejb has not been done yet - if you do, please send a message to the axis users list - Datasources via Spring inside the AAR have been tested. Basically it works as typically done with Spring, though if you are passing Hibernate XML files you need to put them in a place where Spring will find them. The most flexible way is as follows, using logging in DEBUG mode to see where Spring will look in your jar / class locations: <bean id="mySessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean"> <property name="mappingLocations"> <value>classpath*:**/MyEntity.hbm.xml</value> </property> ... </bean> -----Original Message----- From: jnedzel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 9:29 AM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: axis2: classpath and jars in an aar? Could someone point me towards documentation that explains where to put third-party jars in an aar file and how to put them on the service's classpath? I'm trying to build an axis2 service that uses hibernate, but I don't know where to put the hibernate jar files inside the aar ( /lib? root? META-INF/lib?). I've tried putting them in various places, but still get NoClassDefFound errors. I've looked through the Axis2 documentation, but haven't been able to find where this is explained.
