org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption

Hi Everyone,

Hopefully I am raising this question in the right forum, I am trying to setup the Spring Hibernate Environment for my project, I am keep on getting this error, I guess there is some JAR missing or any compatibility issue. Please suggest if it rings a bell. Details are given below;


ApplicationContext.xml
==================

<beans  

    <!-- (in this case, JDBC-related settings for the dataSource definition below) -->  
    <context:property-placeholder location="classpath:jdbc.properties" />  
    <!--

        for the required JAR files. Alternatively you can use another connection pool  
        such as C3P0, similarly configured using Spring.  
    -->  
    <bean  
        id="dataSource"  
        class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"

isn't the exception sufficient - "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/SessionFactory..." you are missing hibernate from your classpath...
