I get the following error about StaticLoggerBinder when I try to startup my application with the latest hibernate released a few days ago. I guess I have to go hunting for the jars for slf4j. Could you include them please?

Hibernate version: 3.3.0 SP1

That class is not part of the hibernate distribution. Along with the slf4j-api.jar you need to include the implementation JAR. I've included slf4j-log4j12-1.5.2.jar.

I'm trying to upgrade to:

hibernate-3.3.0-sp1
hibernate-annotations-3.4.0-ga
hibernate-search-3.1.0-beta1

I'm also using spring 2.0. When I try run my java class from the command line I'm seeing this stack trace. I read somewhere that this is a confusion between commons-logging and slf4j. Commons logging is a requirement for spring and slf4j seems to be a new requirement for the latest hibernate annotations and 3.3.0

Update Log4j (if you have it) to version 1.2.14

You'll find it in the EntityManager and Validator distributions, among others.

I have added the log4j-1.2.14.jar but could not solve the eproblem...

Actually i am upgrading to "hibernate-distribution-3.3.1.GA-dist" with "hibernate-annotations-3.4.0.GA"

Read Post #2 about the slf4j implementation jar.

Can I suggest this get bumped up to be more prominant on Hibernate downloads page. The Sept 12 release of SLF4J made this even more complicated since the latest release's implementation JARs aren't compatable w/ the API JAR Hibernate ships with forcing either some digging or replacing the API jar.

This may not be a "rocket science" type of issue, but it's still confusing to those who don't know what SLF4J is (and why be confusing when it's so easy not to be...)

I agree, I just wanted a quick hibernate update because there were some problem with my Tomcat, and now I'm just getting bogged down in hibernate dependency hell.

I already had log4j-1.2.14 but according to http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder I need to download slf4j-log4j12.jar from
http://www.slf4j.org/download.html

That didn't work so I needed slf4j-api as well.

It has just been a pain in the arse. Oh well, that's only a whole day wasted :(

Hi,

I have had the same problem :(
Here is what works fine for me (as part of maven file - easy to use) :


I hope it can help you!

Regards
Albert

let it be more clear

please add implementation for the api (slf4j-api-1.5.2.jar) waht ever we require (i.e: slf4j-log4j12.jar; which is present in hibernate-entitymanager-3.4.0.GA.zip or get it from http://www.slf4j.org/dist/slf4j-1.5.2.zip)

point here is we need both api and specific implementation jar files,
i.e:

slf4j-api-1.5.2.jar and slf4j-log4j12.jar
