Today I upgraded a prototype working with Hibernate 2 + Spring 1.1
to the latest Hibernate 3.0.1 + Spring 1.2rc2 + Hibernate annotations
3.0beta1 to avoid writing mapping files and use annotations under Java 5.
To use annotation under Maven you need to add the following properties to project.properties
maven.compile.source=1.5 maven.compile.target=1.5
and these all the dependencies you will need. Note that some of them
are not available at ibiblio yet due to a problem of space that will be
solved soon.

Soon with Maven 2 you won’t need all this stuff 😉
As far as the Hibernate 2 to 3 migration as many people have already
said it’s just a matter of renaming the net.sf.hibernate imports to
org.hibernate. About the Hibernate annotations I should give Rick the credit as he has already posted the sample code.
To use Spring with the new Hibernate 3 you need to upgrade to Spring
1.2 (1.2rc2 is the latest version currently available) and change org.springframework.orm.hibernate.LocalSessionFactoryBean to org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean in you applicatin context.
To use Java5 annotations instead of mapping files you need to create a hibernate config file (say hibernate.cfg.xml)
with the classes you want to map (or add them to the one you already
have). The reason you need this file is so the Spring framework doesn’t
depend on JDK 5.
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<mapping class="your.domain.class"/>
<mapping class="another.domain.class"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
And then add to your Spring LocalSessionFactoryBean two properties
<property name="configLocation">
<value>hibernate.cfg.xml</value>
</property>
<property name="configurationClass">
<value>org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration</value>
</property>
And that’s all for the moment.

Is there a way to have access to the prototype’s code? I can successfully build/run oness with spring 1.2.1, but could not make it to work with hibernate3.0.5.
Thanks,
Sergey
i try the same but have version problems. i think cglib uses different asm version than hibernate 3. did you encounter any problems?
To Sergey, Hibernate 3 should work (I haven’t tried with oness yet) as long as you change the hibernate package names. More info at http://www.hibernate.org/250.html.
To tibi, currently I use hibernate 3.0.5 and Spring 1.2.1, but I don’t remember having any trouble with those dependencies. I’ll post soon a new entry about that.
gracias.
que dios te bendiga.
Hi,
I tried out the example you mention here, using hibernate 3.1rc3 and spring 1.2.6 .
Using the example code I can perfectly use hbm2ddl to generate the schema, but when I deploy, Spring seems to fail to setup the sessionfactory.
Any help would be higly appreciated, am I forgetting something?

I think the current hibernate release (3.1 rc3) is not compatible with the annotations (beta 6): you should check them out from the CVS and build them by yourself.
