Hi Jay,

Thanks very much for the jar file. That helped a great deal.

I'm stuck...

I am now *almost* able to deploy the Seam 'booking' example. I'm having real problems with the geronimo deployment plan (The Plan) listed in the article.

The deployment plan uses the Derby database. I'm using Oracle. I've successfully installed the Oracle jar in the respository and a configured a (thin driver) database pool that jar.

I now successfully build the app, but when I try to deploy.bat from the command line using the "The Plan", I get errors such as...

"Exception in Thread.. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/jdbc/pool/OracleDataSource"

This class is in the oracle jar, but I think the geronimo deployment plan is incorrect.

Can you give me some pointers/examples of setting up a deployment plan to use hibernate and oracle?

Thanks,
.Burt

I have updated the directions to correspond to the released Geronimo 2.1
version. But, I have not made it through testing all of the directions
after creating the transaction manager jar.

For your convenience, here is a link to the jar that I built:
http://people.apache.org/~jaydm/hibernate/geronimo-hibernate-transaction-manager-lookup-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Not that I am aware of.

I think that after the tutorial has been re-tested for the released
Geronimo 2.1 version - that tutorial should be all you need to set up
Geronimo for Seam.
