Hi...

It seems that you're missing the hibernate jar (hibernate-entitymanager.jar or a dependency) in your runtime classpath...you should look in that direction...
check out the debate on http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?p=2304254

There might be more details on the Data Access subforum where people deal with Hibernate day-in day-out....

Cheers!
