Thanks Tim, finally I got it to work >> It's possible you are having to different classloaders loading the class and mapping file. You were right!
I changed the way that I was instantiating map to this: Mapping map = new Mapping( getClass().getClassLoader() ); And it seemes to be working.

Which is the preferred way to load classes from the classpath because of the way the classloaders work inside of a web/application container. It's possible you are having to different classloaders loading the class and mapping file. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Mulle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 5:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [castor-user] loadMapping does not fine the mapping file That should be fine.. We use the following code and it works for us: URL url = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("UserMapping.xml"); map.loadMapping (URLDecoder.decode(url.getPath())); This way we load the mapping file from the classpath using the URL so we can actually write back to the file later on. If you use the URL class, we found that we have to URLDecode the path because if the path has directories with spaces they get URL encoded automatically. If you don't need to know where the file came from you can use: InputStream url = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("UserMapping.xml"); map.loadMapping (url); And that will load the mapping file from the classpath as well along with our other classes Hope this helps... -----Original Message----- From: Ali Emami [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 5:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [castor-user] loadMapping does not fine the mapping file Yes, I'm sure. The only thing is that my packaging is a war file so my classes is under ../WEB-INF/classes/com/x/y/z/ rather than being in a jar file -----Original Message----- From: Tim Mulle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 4:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [castor-user] loadMapping does not fine the mapping file And you are sure your User class is in the classpath? -----Original Message----- From: Ali Emami [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 4:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [castor-user] loadMapping does not fine the mapping file I also tried that, the same error message I have: URL url = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("com/x/y/z/"); map.setBaseURL(url.toString()); map.loadMapping ("UserMapping.xml"); //this works and load the xml file In my mapping xml I have <class name="com.x.y.z.User" auto-complete="true"> And it gives me error org.exolab.castor.mapping.MappingException: Could not find the class com.x.y.z.User It's very frustrating!
