NoClassDefFound SessionFactoryImplementor using sharding API

I'm new to hibernate so I may be completely missing something...

I'm using hibernate-release-4.1.1.Final and I'm trying out the sharding capability using hibernate-shards-3.0.0.Beta2

When I run my code I get

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/engine/SessionFactoryImplementor
at org.hibernate.shards.ShardedConfiguration.buildSessionFactory(ShardedConfiguration.java:251)
at org.hibernate.shards.ShardedConfiguration.buildShardedSessionFactory(ShardedConfiguration.java:177)

I can't find that class in any of the libraries in any of the jars supplied with either the core release or the shard release.
I can find org.hibernate.engine.spi.SessionFactoryImplementor... but that doesn't do me any good.

Is there something different I should be using other than the Hibernate Shards? Do I simply have an old release?

Thanks,
-Jon

Hi Jon,
I'm sorry but Hibernate Shards has not been updated since long.

If you're looking for multitenancy, that's now integrated in Hibernate ORM since v.4

If you really want Shards, then you'll have to use an older version of Hibernate.

This is a backup of what used to be on the frontpage of Hibernate.org:

https://community.jboss.org/wiki/Hibern ... lityMatrix

This matrix is not used anymore since the projects embed metadata about their intended dependencies (such as the Maven pom.xml), but to use such old versions you might need it.

Thanks for the response. I guessed that might be the case since I saw the latest release was from 2007, and downloads so dramatically fell off after 2009. I can see how the multitenancy could fit some of our needs, but I don't think all. I'll have to give it more thought.
