Hi all,

I am a newbie to Hibernate. When I am trying to run the first example given in the Hibernate reference, I am getting an exception

When I run the command ant run -Daction=store i am getting the following exception:

[java] Initial SessionFactory creation failed.java.lang.NoClassDefFoundErro
rg/slf4j/LoggerFactory
[java] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
[java] at util.HibernateUtil.<clinit>(Unknown Source)

[java] at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.<clinit>(Configuration.java:1

[java] ... 3 more
[java] Java Result: 1

I've already placed the required slf4j.jar file in the required location. Can anyone please help me to reslove the problem.

Thanks in Advance,
DNV Srikanth.

Can anyone please resolve the issue ??

I had a similar problem with the logging.
I got it to work with log4j in the end by:

Putting the following jars in my lib directory:

log4j-1.2.15.jar
slf4j-api-1.5.3.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.5.3.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar

And a log4j.properties file in to my src directory with the following content:


Good luck, and I hope you get it up and running soon.
