newbie Question--process deployment issue- hibernate.cfg.xml

[sanjeevt]

Hello Friends,
I am exploring open source workflow solutions in order to integrate one with our existing product line. As part of the process I had downloaded the eclipse plugin for jBPM Process development workshop. I was able to generate a simple PD based on the sample provided with the jBPM getting started tutorial.

However I have had several problems when I tried to deploy it to a Tomcat based jBPM server using the ant scripts. Eventually I was able to resolve most of the incompatibility issues. Below is the ant file I am trying to use to deploy the archive.

<project name="Hello_jBPM" default="deploy.par" basedir=".">

 <property environment="env" />
 <property name="DEPLOY_FOLDER" value="."/>
 <property name="SOURCE" value="../"/>
 <property name="LIBRARIES" value="../lib"/>
 <property name="CLASSPATH" value= "$LIBRARIES/jbpm-3.0.jar"/>
 <property name="JBPM_HOME" value= "../../../../jbpm-3.0"/>

 <target name="deploy.par" >
 <taskdef name= "deploypar" classname="org.jbpm.ant.DeployParTask" classpath = "../lib/jbpm-3.0.jar;../lib/commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;../lib/hibernate3.jar">
 </taskdef>
 <deploypar par="src/process/Hello.par" />
 </target>
</project>

Below is the error I am gettting:

Build Failed:
C:\eclipse\workspace\Hello_jBPM\ant\build.xml:13: couldn't deploy process archives : couldn't create JbpmSessionFactory: couldn't create configuration: /hibernate.cfg.xml not found

Can some one show me the light? As I said above I would like to deploy the process into jBPM embedded in Tomcat. Not sure what else to do. I have downloaded jBPM 3.0 and also hsqldb separately as well.

Thanks in advance.

The hibernate properties file must be in your classpath. One simple thing to try is to put the file in your WEB-INF\classes directory since that will get picked up automatically.

On a different, but related note, you'll have to edit the JbpmSessionFactory if you don't use JNDI. Which your version of Tomcat may not support. There's a good article in the forum that describes what you need to do for this.
