You are missing one (or more) dependencies. Check the Hibernate website for a list of the jar files you need.

At the very least you're missing the Apache Commons Logging library.

if some library is missing it should have been given a compilation error.

But strange thing is that its not giving me any compilation error.

what I am suppose to do for this problem?

Details are as follows :

I think you misunderstand how Java works. You are missing, at the very least, the Apache Commons Logging library, as indicated by the error message. You (presumably) are nit compiling Hibernate. Hibernate has a dependency on commons-logging. The code *you* have written does not, so when you compile *your* code, you don't need it.

But your application depends both on your code, *and* on Hibernate: thus your application has a dependency on commons-logging. This is a "transitive dependency". The error message is quite clear: you are missing commons-logging. You may be missing other dependencies as well.

No. You are missing some Jar files Hibernate depends on. Check the Hibernate documentation to see what the dependencies are. At the very least (as David points out) you are missing commons logging.

No.

You're not compiling Hibernate, which is what has the dependency.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding about how Java works and when/how dependency resolution occurs. You are missing at *least* Commons Logging.

We can go back and forth on this all you want, but the answer isn't going to change. I don't know *why* you don't believe us, but it'd be quicker for you if you did.

Got it.

It is transitive dependancy which compiler doesn't catch.

Is it so?

Yes. It is not showing and it will only if you're compiling hibernate source code.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
