Hi all,

I am trying to use hibernate 3.0.4 with J2EE1.3 (Websphere 5.0) on IBM 1.3.1, and get a NoSuchMethodError for the method getDatabaseMajorVersion (See stack trace below)

I saw that this http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-514 bug closed by Gavin King, but the method getDatabaseMajorVersion is NOT present in J2SE 1.3, it was introduced in J2SE1.4.

Has anyone run hibernate 3 on J2SE 1.3 ? Hibernate 3 documentation says it should run but I am puzzled.

Hibernate version: 3.0.4

Full stack trace of any exception that occurs:

Name and version of the database you are using: IBM DB2 v7.0 for OS/390

I just found out that the problem does not seem to occur with Hibernate 3.0.beta4

Hmnnn... Still waiting for a reply :-)

For those of you who are interested, it is solved in 3.0.5
