Hey Scarlog,
I'm having the an extremely similar problem I think or something along those lines. Trying to deploy an app that incorporates Hibernate into Sun Appserver? I've tried both appserver7 & 8 at this stage and no joy.
The NoclassDefFoundException I'm getting is for the Configuration
class, org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration itself! At least you're getting that!
I've included most of the jars you've mentioned there into whatever lib folders I can find.
* cglib.jar
* commons-collections.jar
* commons-logging.jar
* commons-lang.jar
* jcs.jar
* odmg.jar
* hibernate.jar
%AppServerHome%\share\lib
%AppServerHome%\domains\domain1\lib
and also into the actual ear itself which sun one didn't like one bit.
Basically I couldn't find any docs available on the hibernate website detailing
the integration for Sun one so I tried to apply the docs detailing the
Jboss integration
http://www.hibernate.org/82.html
And the WSAD 5.0 integration.
http://www.hibernate.org/173.html
to Sun One but so far no good.
Lo there Hibernators.. Any docs available for Sun One integration at all at all?
Are there any other jars that maybe have to be included?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've put my neck on the line here in work suggesting we use hibernate and so far we haven't been able to get it integrated.
Thanks,
Mark.
