Hibernate version:2.1.6

Name and version of the database you are using: CLoudscape 10.0b


Hi,

I'm rather new to Databases and completely new to hibernate. I tried to follow the guidelines for beginners and encountered a (probably rather small) problem, which I'm sure someone can help me with.

I chose Cloudscape/Derby as database, since it seemed rather promising, downloaded hibernate and I also found the DerbyDialect and DerbyCaseFragment java-files and copied them to the appropriate locations. The "build eg" command, however, does not build successfully, since the DerbyDialect class is not found, the message is as follows:


SettingsFactory:51 - No dialect set - using GenericDialect: Dialect class not found: net.sf.hibernate.dialect.DerbyDialect

and a little later it says again:

net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: Dialect class not found: net.sf.hibernate.dialect.DerbyDialect



Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Using HSQLDB, the build was successfull. Thanx in advance,

Jan

OK, I figured it out myself ... for all those who've got the same problem:

"Simply" (took me a long time :-) ) follow these steps:
1. Download the two java files
2. place DerbyDialect.java in the src\......\dialect folder
3. place the DerbyCaseFragment.java in the src\.....\sql folder
4. in the install dir, run the build.bat
5. you will now have a file ..\hibernate\hibernate2.jar; copy it over installDir\hibernate2.jar
6. run "build eg". The Derby dialect will be found, the tables will now be created, sample data inserted, and some huge SQLException will be raised for a select-statement. I don't know why.

If anyone can tell me why (is it a problem with the DerbyDialect?), a reply is appreciated :-)

Bye,
Jan

DerbyDialect is *completely* experimental, and not supported.

My testing leads me to believe that Derby itself is also currently quite far away from useability.
