Added some details to the steps of running Hibernate with an EJB application in the WSAD 5.0.1 environment, originally posted at this link: http://www.hibernate.org/173.html.

I've added some details to make it easier for beginners like myself.

Note all test server configurations refer to the WSAD test environment

1.Create the EAR and EJB projects as you normally do, create the Session bean that normally used as transactional facade.

2.Import the following jar archives to the EAR project root directory from the file system:

cglib2.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-logging.jar
dom4j.jar
hibernate2.jar
odmg.jar
xalan.jar

There may be warnings about the dependent Jar files not available for some of the JARs above. You can either ignore them or add them from WSAD

Please update the wiki page itself.

Step #5:
"Configure a DataSource the normal way. (You may need to set up a JAASC Authentication entry on the Security tab of the server configuration, and then set the Container managed Authentication Alias for the DataSource to that entry)"

Question:
In setting a DataSource: in the "JDBC provider list:" I suppose I should select "Default DB2 JDBC Provider" with "COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2ConnectionPoolDataSource" for the "Implementation class name" if dealing with DB2 database.
If that is correct, which version of the Data Source did you select in the
"Data source defined in the JDBC provider selected above:": version 4 or 5.

Step #6:
"Create a resource reference for the SLSB refering to the DataSource (EJB Deployment descriptor):

As for dataSource, what I heard from others is user the one for Version 5 whenever possible.

Hi

I tried apply your decision, but still have problem. My situation:
- I don't use Websphere devel. studio
- use Eclipse and XDoclet for build EJBs
- use Maven for build EAR/JAR

My EAR have structure:
root_dir
- META-INF
- app.jar
- hibernate-2.1.2.jar
- other jars when you wrote
- hibernate.cfg.xml

When I try read Configuration from EJB inside app.jar, I can't found hibernate.cfg.xml. I try put hibernate.cfg.xml to app.jar, but still can't read it, what's wrong?

Dear All,

Did you succeed in deploying your Hibernate Application onto Websphere Application Server WAS v5.1.2? If yes, could you share your experience with the community? Thank you!
