Using Spring loaded Hibernate Source Error

[Legato]

Hi,

 

when I try to use a Spring loaded Hibernate Source in iReport 2.0.1, I get a broadly based messange window complaining:

 

"Error creating bean with name ''sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [databaseContext.xml]: Instantation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.FatalBeanException: Could not instantiate class [org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean]; constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/cfg/AnnotationConfiguration"

 

Classpaths point at the hibernate library files. (hibernate3.jar, hiberate-annotations.jar, hibernate-commons-annotations.jar)

 

Searched google, searched forum, searched bugtracker... no answer found yet, and to my regret I havn't found many occurrences of this problem either.

 

If I forgot anything of importance, please feel free to ask.

 

Anybody got a clue how I can fix this?

 

Regards,

Tobias

I had similiar problems:

 

 

1. My dbSource mapping was not in my applicationContext.xml file so I had to combine them.

2. Sometimes I was receiving classNotFoundError even though iReport classpath was configured so I had to copy the appropriate jar files into /iReports*/lib folder.

 

 

GoodLuck.
