hi ,

I am trying a hibernate connection with an OSGI bundle , I am deploying the bundle in eclipse using EQUINOX ..
While doing the same I am facing the error:

The third library dom4j<-version>.jar is missing in your classpath.
This jar is usually contained in the hibernate distribution under the directory lib/required

I have already put the dom4 jar in the bundle class path even then the error persists .

Hi all ,
I am trying to run hibernate in osgi container, but its not running . Please suggest me how i can run hibernate in osgi container.

Thanks in Advance

I think it's safe to say that Hibernate is currently incompatible with OSGi. I see at least two reasons:

• Hibernate uses the thread context classloader, a concept that does not work* in OSGi environments. The Apache Felix mailing list contains many topics like "Library X doesn't work in OSGi" and almost every time it's that drat thread context classloader.
• In a hypothetical Hibernate bundle, the DriverManager would use the bundle's class loader to load JDBC drivers, which means that the Hibernate bundle would have to "import-package" the driver packages. Ugly.

*Equinox and Spring-DM try to work around this issue


I think our best bet is to plead with the Hibernate developers for "osgification" of our favorite ORM library. ;-)
