Domain configuration file "cayenne.xml" is not found.

Sorry guys, I am posting this bugger again.

But it has turned out to be a bummer for me.

I am using NetBeans 7.1.1
JDK 1.7

cayenne files are in the folder - "/WEB-INF/config/cayenne-files". Total
three files cayenne.xml, map and node files.

Error:
"[v.3.0.2 Jun 11 2011 09:26:09] Error during Configuration initialization.
[v.3.0.2 Jun 11 2011 09:26:09]
[org.apache.cayenne.conf.DefaultConfiguration] : Domain configuration file
"cayenne.xml" is not found."

My XML File section for cayenne:
"
    <filter>
        <filter-name>CayenneFilter</filter-name>

<filter-class>org.apache.cayenne.conf.WebApplicationContextFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>CayenneFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>cayenne.configuration.path</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/config/cayenne-files</param-value>

Hi there,

I'm not a servlet guru (I know enough to get by and have my Tapestry
apps run), but I always put my <context-param> section before <filter>
and <filter-mapping>.  May not make a difference, but worth trying.  I
haven't looked through the source extensively, but you seem to be on
the right path from what the JavaDocs say.

Re: Domain configuration file "cayenne.xml" is not found.

Yes, dependent on your servlet version, context-param definitely has
to be the first section in the file.

Also, make sure that you're including the files in your war/ear.
Obvious, but sometimes still the cause :)

Re: Domain configuration file "cayenne.xml" is not found.

Worked - Possible Bug? [Not Solved - because I don't understand how it
worked. Two approaches below]

Question is - if the postgres jdbc jar is missing - why should the error be
- "....cayenne.xml not found...". Please read for details.

Thanks Guys for all the help. Please remember that I am a .NET specialist
and a Java newbie [phew - talk about being deadly ]

Here is what I did - 1st approach

1. Moved to conf files to the default package.

2. Stepped through lot of errors for dependencies like Commons-Collections,
Ashwood and JDBC driver not found.

3. Used code below - and it worked.

"
        DefaultConfiguration conf = new DefaultConfiguration();
        conf.addClassPath("mypackage");
        Configuration.initializeSharedConfiguration(conf);
        DataContext context = DataContext.createDataContext();
        return context;
"

2nd Approach

To test out Michael's suggestion of keeping the '<context-param> section
before <filter> and <filter-mapping>', I moved back the config files to the
