Hi All,

I am trying to use Hibernate with Spring, however, it shows me a message states that : "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration", of course I included the hibernate libraries in my web applicaion, but I dont know what this error shows.

Hope I can get a reply

Zaid

The problem is definitely that the correct Hibernate jar file is not on the class path of your application. Do you certainly use hibernate3.0.jar?

You're most likely overseeing something simple - go through the problem with someone else and you'll probably find the cause yourself...

Erik

this is probably a very old post... I am also getting exactly same error... does anyone has a solution??

versions-
hibernate 3.3.1
mysql- 5.1
spring 2.0.2
tomcat 5.5

Would appreciate if anyone could help me.... its my first time with spring-hibernate!!

Sorry if this is not too much help, but I tried using spring 3.0 M2 last week with hibernate and got a number of class not found errors. After a bit of searching I found others with similar problems and have now gone back to Spring 2.5 as the issues were with the Spring code.

Cheers
Neil

i have shifted to spring - 2.0.2 ... getting same error... plz help!!

Are dbcp related jar files in your classpath ? Try to put them in tomcat {tomcathome}/common/lib directory and try.

Could you tell me where do i check the classpath?? is it in project directory only or somewhere else?

If you are using tomcat the jars need to be in your web container classpath. Put them in {tomcathome dir}/common/lib or your application /WEB-INF/lib directory.

If this do not help try to work with spring DriverManagerDataSource to check if the problem is actually because of dbcp configuration or something else.

for dbcp configuration i guess these jars will be needed
commons-dbcp.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-pool.jar

Thanx for your time.
i have al the jars you mentioned.
i tried putting them in both shared/lib and project/WEB-INF/lib but no luck.
What i got from the error is that problem is with LocalSessionFactoryBean ... i tried commenting dbcp part from spring-web-json-servlet.xml and got the exact same error. It means it is not even reaching to dbcp.

<!--
<bean id="myDataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/aggrata"/>
<property name="username" value="root"/>
<property name="password" value=""/>
</bean>
-->

I am stuck at the same point. :(

i am trying to use the " DriverManagerDataSource" as you advised.. will port if got something.

tried DriverManagerDataSource also... but every line ofthe errorissame as before.

It seems that u've configured hibernate objects using Spring container.
If this is the case, be sure that u r doing below things:

. Provide sessionFactory bean to ur Dao bean.
. Your DAO classes extend HibernateDaoSupport (Spring class)
. U use getHibernateTemplate() function which takes care of instantiating Hibernate Configuration/related object.

Kindly note, there are other ways of integrating them and abv is one possible way.
If not sure how it done refer "Spring Recipes" book, chap= Spring ORM Support
