Name and version of the database you are using:

mysql
4.0.17

Looks like your main problem per the "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" is that you don't have the Hibernate JAR in your classpath.

Fix that first and then move on.

i think hibernate is on the class path? if you do something like

User k = new User();
k.passsword = "eggs";
k.id = "peter";
woo.save(k);

it works fine, when you go look at the datebase you see a row called peter with said password?

but when you do a find you get that horrible error.

i don't understand!!

you have a version mistake between spring and hibernate

download spring and depencies (this should include hibernate2.jar) and don't download another version of hibernate

you are right! thank you very much! I feel much better now!
