My application is using Hibernate 3.0. I am running the application in eclipse and deploying in JBoss-5.1 with jdk version. The same application works fine in Apache Tomcat.

Please help me to resolve this.

Answer 1

you should add Hibernate jar file to eclipse class path.

if you have JavaEE project, than project>properties>JavaEE - add All button. To add all dependecies as runtime JavaEE dependencies.

and! =) you should check if you have added same jars (with different versions) in you classpath.

Answer 2

could you try removing the hibernate JAR's from the EAR/WAR file when deploying on JBoss. doesn't jboss come with it's own version of hibernate?
