Hi,
Trying to set up a simple iBatis framework on Spring.
applicationContext.xml and SqlMapConfig.xml,EmployeeMapConfig.xml are placed under WEB-INF folder.

The entire set up is on WAS 6.1 server, using RAD to create projects.

Code is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN"
"http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<beans>
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClassName" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" />
<property name="url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@<myhostort:schema>" />
<property name="username" value="test" />
<property name="password" value="testpwd" />
</bean>

<bean id="sqlMap" class="org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClient FactoryBean">
<property name="configLocation" value="WEB-INF/SqlMapConfig.xml" />
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
</bean>

<bean id="employeeService" class="com.myfolder.TestDAO">
<property name="sqlMapClient" ref="sqlMap" />
</bean>
</beans>

SqlMapConfig.xml
<!DOCTYPE sqlMap
PUBLIC "-//iBATIS.com//DTD SQL Map 2.0//EN"
"http://ibatis.apache.org/dtd/sql-map-2.dtd">

<sqlMapConfig>
<settings useStatementNamespaces="true"/>
<sqlMap resource="WEB-INF/EmployeeSQLMap.xml"/>
</sqlMapConfig>


It loads applicationContext.xml
and while it tries to load SqlMapConfig.xml, it runs into error
