Spring Hibernate Iceface configuration file get DTD and workoffline

[anthony chan]

Hi all,

I am using a Spring + Hibernate + Icefaces combination to build a web application and since the firewall and proxy problem, I can not easily connect to internet. So the problem is the spring and hibernate configuration need to load the DTD or schema for validation from internet. Under this condition, I must manully extract the DTD from those jar file. I have tried that it did not work if it zips in the jar file.

Spring work fine under this solution and I set the header of Spring configuration file as following

<!DOCTYPE beans SYSTEM "dtd/spring-beans-2.0.dtd">

you can see that the dtd file is extracted to folder dtd. The folder is under web-inf.

Now hibernate will integrated with spring as the configuration below.

 <bean id="sessionFactory"
		class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
		<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
		<property name="configLocation">
			[u][b]<value>WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml</value>[/b][/u]
		</property>
		<property name="configurationClass">
			<value>org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration</value>
		</property>
		<property name="hibernateProperties">
			<props>
				<prop key="hibernate.dialect">${hibernate.dialect}</prop>
				<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
				<prop key="hibernate.generate_statistics">true</prop>
			</props>
		</property>
		<property name="eventListeners">
			<map>
				<entry key="merge">
					<bean
						class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.IdTransferringMergeEventListener" />
				</entry>
			</map>
		</property>
	</bean>   

you can see that the configuration file is under folder web-inf.

Under this condion. The system will first load spring configuration then load hibernate configuration. The environement will change to eclipse if I developed in Eclipse. But the hibernate configuration file cannot find the DTD again as below configure

 <!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration SYSTEM "dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">   

the system generate exception

 org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/beans-config.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: Could not parse configuration: jndi:/localhost/DMS/WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml

you can see that the environment change to D:\software\eclipse. I have tested if directly deploy to tomcat, the environement will also change to tomcat folder.

So, does anyone have idea to solve this problem?

Thanks and best regards
