i deployed my application on jboss and copied the hibernate2.jar to ${jboss.home}/server/default/lib but trying my application gives me this error:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Unexpected Error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/sf/hibernate/MappingException
at org.shabdiz.shabware.session.SessionEJB.ejbCreate(SessionEJB.java:98)
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java

the mentioned line is :
sessionFactory= new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

Thanks in advance

are you deploying a webapp?

If so, you should put you hibernate2.jar in WEB-INF/lib

I place things like jdbc drivers that are shared by differeny applications in the same server in the $JBOSS_DIST/lib directory, maybe hibernate could also work there.

Hope it helps

I am working on jboss. The mentioned class is in hibernate2.jar and it is at the $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib but still i am getting this error message
