Hi All,

What is difference between hibernate3.jar(version - 3.2.5) and hibernate-core.jar(version - 3.3.1). I have deployed my application in JBoss server. It has hibernate-core.jar(version - 3.3.1) in common/lib folder. My application points to this folder for hibernate related jars. We are using BIRT 2.5 as reporting tool in our application. Hibernate datasource is been used for creating BIRT reports. It is point to jar hibernate3.jar(version - 3.2.5). Everything is working with hibernate3.jar(version - 3.2.5). but when i deploy those reports to Jboss server, it throws ClassNotFoundException for org.hibernate.Session. I tried to replace hibernate3.jar(version - 3.2.5) in JBoss server in place of hibernate-core.jar(version - 3.3.1). Still its throwing the same exception.

Can any one please tell me difference between hibernate3.jar(version - 3.2.5) and hibernate-core.jar(version - 3.3.1)?.

regards,
ganesh

You can always open them up with WinZip and look inside!

I have the same question, our JBoss 6 distro came with hibernate-core.jar (plus about 11 other hibernate*jar files), and the Hibernate 3.6.3 distribution comes with hibernate3.jar.

I opened the two jars and did a diff and found quite a number of differences (100's), however replacing hibernate-core.jar with hibernate3.jar and relaunching our JBoss server seems to work, though obviously I am worried that there is something in these diffs that will cause us problems.

Some clarification from the Hibernate folks would be very welcome.
