Thanks Thomas, that works fine. The problem for me is my webapp is installed by an installer as a WAR file. When Tomcat starts up the WAR file is extracted and OJB has to find it's configuration. So my idea was to install the configuration files in a separate folder outside the home directory of my webapp. I added the config directory to the classpath, but this does not help.
So I think I have two choices: 1. Let the installer set "repositoryFile" in OJB.properties to the correct path. 2. Put the repository.xml into WEB-INF/classes, as you suggested. Or is there a third one? Thanks................Frank -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Thomas Dudziak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 13.

I'd suggest that you honor the location that the servlet spec suggests for webapp configuration files, which is WEB-INF or - for resources loaded from the classpath as OJB does - WEB-INF/classes. If you put your files in there, OJB will find the files automatically (when using the default configuration), and it will be guaranteed to be portable across servlet containers.
