I got the file to map by putting them in WEB-INF/classes/domain/transferScenario.hbm.xml. In my applicationContext, the mapping file value is <value>domain/TransferScenario.hbm.xml</value>. Thanks a lot of your help and patience!
Just to wrap up this conversation, (now that we're both on the same page), what are the alternatives? How can I get the AAR on the classpath (expanded or not)? Are there any best practices? Thanks. -Brian
