NoClassDefFoundError:

[Karthik Vijayarajan]

Hi
I am getting this exception when i try to get the sessionFactory from the Configuration object.

"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/sf/hibernate/cfg/Configuration."

I am using Tomcat 5.0.28 and have placed the hibernate.cfg.xml and the mapping xml under web-inf/classes and the actual class files under web-inf/classes/com/abc/ ..

My classpath includes the hibernate jar files hibernate2.jar and cglib-full-2.0.2.jar along with the other required jar's like servlet-api.jar....

Would be great if someone can help me get thru this.

Thanks
Karthik

Is the hibernate.jar file in Tomcat's classpath? or is it possible that that jar file is being lodaed by a different classloader within Tomcat?

Yeah. You were right Mark.
I just copied the hibernate2.jar into web-inf/lib of my tomcat and included in the classpath and it works fine.
Trying to get thru few more exceptions :-)

Thanks a lot.

Cool. I am glad that worked. I like it when I get one right every once in a while.
