Having trouble using my version of Hibernate instead of JBoss' in a JAR application

[Dave Alvarado]

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy a JAR file to JBoss 4.2.2.GA (don't have control over the server version). Our application uses Hibernate 4.0.1.Final, which we include through Maven like so ...

		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
			<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
			<version>${hibernate.validator.version}</version>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
			<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
			<version>${hibernate.version}</version>
			<exclusions>
				<exclusion>
					<groupId>org.jboss.spec.javax.transaction</groupId>
					<artifactId>jboss-transaction-api_1.1_spec</artifactId>
				</exclusion>
				<exclusion>
					<groupId>org.jboss.logging</groupId>
					<artifactId>jboss-logging</artifactId>
				</exclusion>
			</exclusions>
		</dependency>

I also have a jboss-app.xml file to tell JBoss to use our files instead of its own ...

<jboss-app>
	<!-- setup classLoader repository. java2ParentDelegation to always have 
		package libs override server libs for this application -->
	<loader-repository>
		org.myco.subco.dido:loader=didoclient
		<loader-repository-config>
			java2ParentDelegation=false
		</loader-repository-config>
	</loader-repository>
</jboss-app>

However, when I deploy our JAR file to JBoss, we get errors indicating that JBoss is using its own Hibernate 3 classes (e.g. "org.hibernate.MappingException: An AnnotationConfiguration instance is required to use <mapping class="com.mainco.fdr.lycea.model.UserRole"/>"). The structure of the JAR is like so

META-INF/jboss-app.xml
...
org/hibernate/cfg/Configuration.class
...

Any ideas how we can tell JBoss to use our Hibernate over its Hibernate?

Thanks, - Dave
