Upgrading to Hibernate 3.5.1 with Spring 2.5.6

[infinity2heaven]

Has anyone had luck in upgrading Hibernate 3.4/JPA 1.0 jars to Hibernate 3.5.1 and JPA 2.0 with Spring 2.5.6?

I'm not interested in upgrading to Spring 3.0.2 as it breaks everything including Spring security 2.x.

Thank you.

Spring 2.5 doesn't support JPA 2 only JPA 1, so the only way would be to either only use JPA1 and upgrade (although there are changes in spring 3 to make Hibernate 3.5 work) hibernate only.

But judging from the changes made in spring 3 to make JPA 2 and Hibernate 3.5 work I doubt it will 'simply' work.

Thanks for confirming that it will not work trivially. I spend a couple of days upgrading, and the amount of changes I had to do was non-trivial.

I'll stay out of any future Spring releases and consider a migration to Guice, for the future.

Upgrading to spring 3 shouldn't be that hard, it should be 99% backwards compatible so I'm not sure why you have so much trouble....
