Hibernate 4 ConnectionProvider Class not found

Question

I just updated Hibernate in my application to 4.3.4 (from 3.X), which caused some problems. The first was the new method of creating a sessionFactory, which I resolved.

Answer 1

Hibernate keeps changing the package containing the ConnectionProvider base class. It changed from version 3 to 4 and has changed again with verson 4.3. As @teresa-carrigan mentions in a comment to this answer, you'll have to compile the latest BoneCPConnectionProvider.java (currently supporting Hibernate 4.3.1) and use that.
Or use Hibernate version 4.2.12.Final and see if that works with BoneCP 0.8 (as explained in the aforementioned answer).
