Hi Steve,

Would you able to provide a timeline when Hibernate Core will be out containing the fix?

Thanks

>                 Key: HHH-3159
>                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3159
>             Project: Hibernate Core
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: core
>    Affects Versions: 3.2.5
>         Environment: Hibernate 3.2.5GA, Oracle 11.1.0.6.0.
>            Reporter: Dustin Schultz
>            Assignee: Chris Bredesen
>             Fix For: 3.2.x, 3.3.x, 3.5
>
>   Original Estimate: 1 minute
>  Remaining Estimate: 1 minute
>
> With Oracle 11g, the deprecated package oracle.jdbc.driver no longer exists and this causes issues with all OracleDialect classes making it impossible to use Hibernate.
> This issue affects all of the following classes:
> Oracle9iDialect.java
> Oracle9Dialect.java
> Oracle10gDialect.java
> The line error in question is:
>     Class types = ReflectHelper.classForName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleTypes");
> This simply needs to be changed to:
>      Class types = ReflectHelper.classForName("oracle.jdbc.OracleTypes");
> From the Oracle 11g readme.txt
> "In Oracle JDBC release 9.0.1 customer use of the classes
>     in that package was deprecated. A new package, oracle.jdbc, was
>     introduced and customers were advised to begin using the
>     interfaces and classes defined in oracle.jdbc. In every release
>     since 9.0.1 we have encouraged customers to switch to oracle.jdbc
>     and stated that oracle.jdbc.driver would be desupported. The time
>     has come. Customer code that references oracle.jdbc.driver will
>     not compile and will not execute in this and future releases of
>     the Oracle JDBC drivers. Please use oracle.jdbc instead."
> Thanks.
