I'm using MyBatis 3.0.5 and I have problems about the loading of mappers as resources. I'm on Windows 7 64, I use Eclipse Indigo 64bit and jdk7 64. MyBatis is initialized in a Grizzly Web Container (where are implemented rest services with jersey framework) standalone instance.
<mappers>
<mapper
url="file:///C:/Users/andrea/workspace/soap2rest/src/main/java/com/izs/mybatis/FormMapper.xml" />
<mapper resource="src/main/java/com/izs/mybatis/FormMapper.xml" />
</mappers>
I have the same mappers only for testing, the first is loaded, the second doesn't work. Errors:
org.apache.ibatis.exceptions.PersistenceException:

Sorry for my english.
SOLUTION: Maven projects want resources into src/main/resources and src/test/resources for tests. So the solution is to put the xml mappers into these folders.
