)

I am using hibernate3, and placed all spring, hibernate, echocache jars in the class path.


Please help me in this regards.

Thanks in advance.

I assume this is a problem in the code of PersonDaoTest.java.
- Could you show the code you have written at com.pst.lms.dao.junit.PersonDaoTest.<init>(PersonD aoTest.java:73) ?
- Could you include the applicationContext.xml that you are using ?
