Hi,
We are using Jboss 4.2.3 and trying to make hibernate search to work. But, Jboss 4.2.3 has very old version of hibernate-annotation and hibernate-entitymanager. In fact, they both are 3.2.1

Question is, will hibernate search work with the jboss 4.2.3 distribution of hibernate?

Thanks!!

You could easily include the annotation and entity-manager jars within your application.

Or you can try swapping out the older jars from JBoss.

Thanks.
That will work.
But, we are worried replacing jboss certified hibernate versions. Looks like 3.2.1 hibernate-annotations have some of the same classes as the newer hibernate-search jars.

maybe, classloading can be configured to do this.
Has anyone done this?

thanks!!

Due to time constraints for testing, stick to including the jars you need within the application itself.

This way you don't affect the way JBoss works but your application will be perfectly alright.

Kind regards,

I use the latest versions of Hibernate Annotations and Em (3.3.x series) on JBoss AS 4.2.x all day long. It works fine.
If you are a Red Hat customer, this is slightly different as this combination is not officially supported. Open a support ticket, we are working on a feature pack to include the latest versions in the EAP 4.3 series.
