Hello guys, I've stumbled upon some trouble while upgrading my hibernate version to hibernate 3.2.5.ga and hibernate annotation 3.3.0.ga. If you try to build and run integration-test, this error will come out.
ERROR - ContextLoader.initWebApplicationContext(203) | Context initialization failed org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in URL [ file:/E:/projects/epermit-backend-integrator/target/classes/applicationContext- dao.xml]: Invocation of init method faile d; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/annotations/common/reflection/ReflectionManager Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/annotations/common/reflection/ReflectionManager It seems that the new version of hibernate annotation needs a particular jar file to work. If you download the hibernate annotation zip file, go to the lib folder and you'll find a jar file named hibernate-common-annotations.jar. Install this file in your maven repository and include the dependency in your pom.xml file. Then, everything will work normally. -- /fadhli
