Hi Everybody,
I am new to Java and application Servers so please pardon me if this question sounds too foolish.

I have worked with the .Net version of Hibernate ie: NHibernate..

I am currently using Hibernate Version 3.2.

I would like to know the basic steps to create a simple Test application of Hibernate so that it runs in the JBoss application Server. I have created a Test application that works perfectly when i run it as a StandAloneServer.

Basically i would like to know the following Questions:-

1) What Jars need to be copied to the Server's Bin Folder. If a copy all the JARs from the Hibernates Bin folder the server fails to start and if i copy None then the application gives me ClassDefNotFound error.

2)How can the SeesionFactory act a JNDI Service.

3) How can i enable Connection Pooling with Hibernate.


Thanks for your Help.

Attention that JBoss has already hibernate files... and especially cglib.jar can cause conflict with your deployed application... (in JBoss 3.2.7 I had to take away the hibernate files of JBoss, by with JBoss 4.0.3 I didn't have to do it)
