Which JAR contains org.springframework.orm.hibernate.HibernateTransactionManager?

Question

Hi

I am trying to use Hibernate+Spring in my application but stuck into following error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.orm.hibernate.HibernateTransactionManager

Tired of googling, could any stackoverflower tell me which JAR contains the above class?

EDIT

An important thing that I did not notice was that Spring has different packages for different versions of Hibernate. For Hibernate V3 (which I am using), the appropriate HibernateTransactionManager class would be

org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager

instead of

org.springframework.orm.hibernate.HibernateTransactionManager.

The JAR containing this (hibernate3) class, as I have discovered is spring-hibernate3.jar. Thank you for your replies :)

Answer 1

its in spring-orm.jar . Also make sure that you have this JAR in your classpath

Answer 2

Umar, I see you use ant, have you tried maven? you just include dependency :

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring</artifactId>
            <version>${spring.version}</version>
        </dependency>

And maven take care downloading and everything for you,

If you're using Eclipse there's a very useful plugin called JAR Class Finder that's perfect for these type of problems.
