I'm using Eclipse, tomcat, sysdao, cayenne, and struts, so I can probably
assist you somewhat.
javax.servlet comes as part of your j2ee container (tomcat in your case).
I include this in my project by referencing
TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/servlet.jar.
You may or may not need jaspar-runtime.jar in the same directory -- I think
it's only necessary for jsp support which you wouldn't use under Tapestry.
By default, Cayenne finds cayenne.xml in the root of your classpath.
My first guess is that your sysdao/tomcat interaction isn't set up right,
and you're not picking up the classpath.
If possible try copying your war file and/or project directly into tomcat's
deployment directory first, and see if that works.
...jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27\webapps I think.
If that's the case, you probably just need to get your sysdao/tomcat
configured properly. I might be able to help you with that off-list.
And yes, there's a way to use FileConfiguration to specify an absolute path,
but you won't be using that anyway once you have everything configured
properly, so there's little point in doing that now.
When you're done, you'll just stick your cayenne.xml files either in your
src directory so they're automatically copied to the classes directory or I
stick them in my WEB-INF directory.
