Mario, I'm glad to hear it is working. I couldn't get my properties file to work with spaces, I had to use equals signs:
hibernate.dialect=net.sf.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect hibernate.connection.username=XXXXX hibernate.connection.password=YYYYY hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test hibernate.connection.driver_class=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver As for your Eclipse problem, if you are using Eclipse v2.1.X (I'm on 2.1.3), try this: go to the Java perspective, right clicking on the project name, choose properties, select "Java Build Path", and edit the "Source folders on build path" entry so $TOMCAT/webapps/example1/WEB-INF/src becomes $TOMCAT/webapps/example1/WEB-INF/src/java and make sure the "Default Output Folder" lists $TOMCAT/webapps/example1/WEB-INF/classes. That should class compilation so java files under WEB-INF/src/java compile WEB-INF/classes instead of showing up under WEB-INF/classes/java. I.E. WEB-INF/src/java/com/edhand/whatever.java shows up now (as you described below) compiled as WEB-INF/classes/java/com/edhand/whatever.java when this change would make it compile properly as WEB-INF/classes/com/edhand/whatever.java Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: Mario St-Gelais [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 10:14 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Struts and Hibernate David Friedman wrote: >Mario, > >Where is your hibernate.properties file? in WEB-INF/classes or somewhere >else? > >Regards, >David > >-----Original Message----- >From: Jesse Alexander (KXT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 5:09 AM >To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' >Subject: RE: Struts and Hibernate > > >could the problem lie beneath the different jdbc-drivers you two guys use? >Joe, you are using the newest generation mysql-driver.

Can't figure how exactly what went wrong except for one or two things. Like the example shows for the property file : hibernate.dialect net.sf.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect hibernate.connection.driver_class org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver hibernate.connection.driver_class com.mysql.jdbc.Driver hibernate.connection.url jdbc:mysql:///test hibernate.connection.username testuser See something wrong at line 4!!!!! Of course I did not see this at first!!! Should be hibernate.connection.url jdbc:mysql://localhost/test As far as it goes for the jdbc driver, I use mysql-connector-java-3.0.9 and no problem there. So that is something to know I guess. The Hibernate.properties file is in WEB-INF/classes. Also I am not familiar with Ant. But when using Eclipse like I do, I guess it is the best way to compile all classes with Eclipse i.e. it compiles automatically. But then this here : 12. Create directory |/com/edhand/example1| underneath |$TOMCAT/webapps/example1/WEB-INF/src/java|. Causes a problem. Because all packages are com.edhand, and Eclipse compile in java.com.edhand... Since then I also another example known as span. No success so far. And I haven't look at it for some days now...
