Added testService project to testWeb "Deployment Assembly" and now it works.

Thanks.

When the Hibernate Entity bean(Product.java in testService) is declared outside the dymanic web project, hibernate could not load the class Product.java. But when Product.java is placed in testWeb it is working fine.
Please help to access the Entity that is declared outside the dynamic web project.

Project created in Eclipse Mars2

Thanks in advance

Thank you. It works after moving all the jars to WEB-INF/lib.

I have corrected the typo error in my previous post (it is userdetails.hbm.xml)

Thank you Karthik for your quick rely.
Below are the approaches I tried, but getting the same error in all the attempts

Approach 1: <property name="mappingResources"> <list> <value>config/db/mapping/userdetails.hbm.xml</value> </list> </property> Approach 2: <property name="mappingResources"> <list> <value>/config/db/mapping/userdetails.hbm.xml</value> </list> </property Approach 3: <property name="mappingLocations"> <list> <value>classpath:config/db/mapping/userdetails.hbm.xml</value> </list> </property>
