Putting hibernate in the AAR is a special case. It can be done, but its far easier - as you found out - to put the files under WEB-INF/classes and the jars in WEB-INF/lib
You can't put hibernate config files inside the AAR because those config files need to be on the classpath, per the way hibernate loads those files by default. You can exapnd the AAR though... What you can do, per Spring is add directories to the classpath, ie, expand the AAR in WEB-INF/services or WEB-INF/classes/myConfigs http://www.springframework.org/docs/api/org/springframework/orm/hibernate/LocalSessionFactoryBean.html#setMappingDirectoryLocations(org.springframework.core.io.Resource[]) You of course don't need Spring to run Hibernate - there probably is a way to do the same thing via just hibernate - you'll have to google on that though since I prefer to use Spring to configure Hibernate.
