Hibernate and Tomcat

[Doddy]

Is it possible to make hibernate work with Tomcat without altering the server.xml?

I don't have easy access to server.xml and I'd like to control it from my application only.....

[#/bin/sh]

If you are using Tomcat 5+ then you can define your context inside an xml inside your yourapp/META-INF directory:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tom...g/context.html

[#/bin/sh]

ie: (from that link)

--------------------

Please note that for tomcat 5.x, unlike tomcat 4.x, it is NOT recommended to place <Context> elements directly in the server.xml file. Instead, put them in the META-INF/context.xml directory of your WAR file or the conf directory as described above.
