Hi, have a look on your PATH variable. the xml file have to be in your path. if you don't want that (like me), you can specify the absolute path of your xml file in a properties file (who only have to be in the classPath, WEB-INF/classes for exemple) you can ask this question in the tomcat's user list, may be somebody give you a better soluiton ...
Regards. ----- Original Message ----- From: Martin Smith To: OJB Users List Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 1:03 PM Subject: RE: newbie - can't find repository xml files My Tomcat dir was as you suggested in Program Files. I moved it to c:\tomcat. Now, then after I moved the tomcat dir I had to start the service through the start menu, as the service would try and start tomcat from where I installed it. I now get the error: Caused by: org.apache.ojb.broker.metadata.MetadataException: Could not read repository class descriptor data, using repository: repository.xml: C:\Tomcat\bin\repository.xml (The system cannot find the file specified) If I start the original installation through the start menu rather then the service I get the error: Caused by: org.apache.ojb.broker.metadata.MetadataException: Could not read repository class descriptor data, using repository: repository.xml: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\repository.xml (The system cannot find the file specified) So it looks like it tries to find the XML files in different locations, depending on how tomcat was launched! -----Original Message----- From: Charles Anthony [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 August 2003 07:15 To: 'OJB Users List' Subject: RE: newbie - can't find repository xml files Hi, Is Tomcat installed in a directory with spaces in ? e.g. "C:\Program Files\Tomcat" If so, it is possible that the XML parser is throwing a hissy fit (Xerces has a problem with reading XML in a directory with spaces in). I would guess that it is trying the applications "current" directory - which seems to be C:\WINDOWS\system32\.
