Hi Friends -

I am using AnnotationSessionFactoryBean to configure the sessionFactory.
When I get the session factory and call createDatabaseSchema() method I am getting the follwoing exception:

[java] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/persistence/InheritanceJoinColumns
[java] at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationBinder.bindClass(AnnotationBinder.java:324)

..................

I am using JDK1.5, Hibernate 3.1 beta with spring 1.2.2. I verified ejb3-persistence.jar, but could not find the class javax.persistence.InheritanceJoinColumns.

Please let me know if any one has any idea.

wrong Hibernate Annotations version, use the ejb-persistence distributed with the hibernate-annotations you use
