Hello,

I am trying to get hibernate at work using one table and trying to insert records, but I cannot get around the error

"java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: net.sf.hibernate.persister.AbstractEntityPersister: method getTableName()Ljava/lang/String"


weblogic server 6.1 sp 3
Oracle 8.1.7
hibernate 2.1

I defined a datasource in the weblogic server (hibtestDatasource) and got the logging at work; this datasource works as I have already tested it using entity beans.
In my console the following messages are logged (see below)

I already have rebuild hibernate2.jar using build.xml (java 1.3.1_02)
I changed use_outer_join to false as done by some messages on this forum
I changed Oracle9Dialect to OracleDialect

Any hint would be welcome; I would really like to use hibernate for my next project; the test is based on the basic sample in the documentation (getting started);
the content of hibernate.cfg.xml and cat.hbm.xml are listed below

Thanks in advance,

Jan

This sounds really strange, are you sure you don't have two different hibernate jars in the classpath somehow?

the hibernate2.jar is packaged in my ear file;

try for a start to searh on www.hibernate.org after "NoSuchMethodError", and see if that faq entry that pops up is any usefull to ya' ;)

OK, this problem is solved; after doing a search on "NoSuchMethodError" and looking at some other messages, someone solved the problem by adding target=1.1 to the compiler.

So I recompiled hibernate by adding to build.xml, target "compile", task javac, the attribute target=1.1; then I added this new hibernate2.jar to my .ear file and redeployed; it worked !!

so my build.xml (target compile) is looking like appended at the end of this message, using jdk 1.3.1_02; I got one warning during execution of the build.xml: "could not load definitions from resource clovertasks; it could not be found."

I don't know what "clovertasks" is but I hope to dig in it further.

Thanks for your help

Jan

build.xml:

<target name="compile" depends="init" description="Compile the Java source code">
<available
classname="org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main"
property="build.compiler"
value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.JDTCompilerAdapter"
classpath="${java.class.path}"/>
<javac

destdir="${build.dir}"
classpathref="lib.class.path"

</javac>
</target>

The clovertasks warning is just a warning about clover is not available to you because of a missing clover license. Hibernate team got an open source license to get nice reports about test coverage and such ;)
