Deploying war file on Tomcat: file path problem

Question

Hello all,
i am using my eclipse ide for automatically deploy my webapplication to Tomcat. For Database connectivity i configured hibernate. To configure hibernate i am using the following code:
package de.wfm.hibernate.hibernateUtil;
import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
public class ESDBFactory {
     private static SessionFactory sf;
     private static Session session = null;
     private static String pathToCfgFile = "de\\"
                         + "wfm\\hibernate\\hibernateUtil\\esdb.cfg.xml";
     public static synchronized Session getSession() throws HibernateException {
          if (session==null) {
               if (sf==null) {
                    sf = new Configuration()
                         .configure(pathToCfgFile).
                         buildSessionFactory();
          session = sf.openSession();
          return session;
}When i use this in the ide all is fine. But when i export my application to a war file and deploy it on Tomcat i got the exception:
2006-07-28 10:06:10 StandardWrapperValve[Urlaubsplanung Servlet]: Servlet.service() for servlet Urlaubsplanung Servlet threw exception
javax.faces.FacesException: #{User.doLogin}: javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: org.hibernate.HibernateException: de\wfm\hibernate\hibernateUtil\esdb.cfg.xml not foundHow to avoid this? What do i have to do to set the file path correctly?
Regards,

hmm.. ic
The .war file when drop in the webapps dir and u restart tomcat, it auto create a dir with your .war filename and the content of .war file is copied to there.
Am i rite to say so?
And wat about the web.xml?
If i need to add users and password how can I accomplished it in tomcat web.xml?
Last but not least, thanks for taking the time to reply. :D
