Good idea. I searched all jars in lib, shared/lib, and webapps/AppName/WEB-INF/lib. org.hibernate.SessionFactory occurs in one file only, which is hibernate3-3.3.1.jar.
I don't know if this is the first class in the WEB-INF/lib folder to be loaded, but it's not out of the question that it is. It's like Tomcat isn't looking there if I tell it the shared classloader should be looking in shared/lib. Like I described before, it works if I point the shared classloader at the WEB-INF/lib directory as well (which was a test, and not a proposed solution :) ), which is telling. Still stuck, and not sure where to look. Mad grateful for further ideas.
