Hi Frank,

I do not see why it should make a difference if your app is delivered in a WAR file, if you put your OJB.properties and repository.xml in the WEB-INF/classes
you will not need any extra configuration, it is up to the servlet container to load the files directly from the WAR file or from the unpacked application. You
do not need to set any absolute paths.

bye

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.

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.
