Hi,

I have started using hibernate for awhile now, and recently I came across the need to have hibernate in glassfish. I did search and the only tutorial I found online is this here: http://www.hibernate.org/374.html - where one ought to download the hibernate-patch.jar from a webpage which is never found.
Can anyone please give some hints to help me get started?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers, Karl

What do you want to do with hibernate on glassfish?

I don't know about him, but I find hibernate to be a more robust solution than toplink essentials, plus it comes with an integrated search module and some useful extended annotations which are lacking in toplink.

So ... any answers to this ?

I've found I can run hibernate by dropping all the hibernate jars in to domain1/lib, but I'd like to keep them in the EAR because some of these jars seem to create conflicts with other applications (specifically Magnolia, in my case) that are difficult to resolve.

There is a tutorial on how to create a Visual Web Project in NetBeans 6.1 with Hibernate deploying to the bundled Glassfish

http://wiki.netbeans.org/HibernateAndVisualWebProject

Actually it seems like with the version of glassfish that I have, I can just put hibernate and its dependencies into an EAR's libs and then I can use hibernate in glassfish - no patch required!

I think you may have to tell hibernate not to use cglib, and use javassist instead.

I still have to put the JDBC drivers into the container's classpath, which is fine.

I don't think this will work with a WAR file, however - only with an EAR.
