JBoss AS 4.0.5.CR1 does not include jaxen, which is required for using Hibernate XML mapping -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-3736 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3736 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: ClassLoading Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.5.CR1 Environment: SUSE Linux 10.0, Sun JRE 1.5.0_05-b05 Reporter: Don Smith Assigned To: Emmanuel Bernard Fix For: JBossAS-4.0.5.GA Hibernate XML mapping requires using the org.dom4j.Document, as shown in this example: org.dom4j.Document document = saxReader.read(inputXML); List users = document.selectNodes("//product"); try { Session session = HibernateUtil.sessionFactory.openSession(); Transaction transaction = session.beginTransaction(); Session dom4jSession = session.openSession(EntityMode.DOM4J); Iterator iter = users.iterator(); while (iter.hasNext()) { Object next = iter.next(); dom4jSession.saveOrUpdate("demo.Product", next ); }// end while transaction.commit(); session.close(); If any other type of Document is used for the dom4jSession.saveOrUpdate() call, it throws an exception. Using SAXReader.read() throws a NoClassDefFound error using JBoss 4.0.5.CR1, unless jaxen (jaxen-1.1-beta-7.jar from the Hibernate 3.2.cr4 download) is added the the server configuration's lib directory. I submit that jaxen is required to use the XML Mapping facility of Hibernate, and that it's missing from JBoss 4.0.5.CR1.
