Which hibernate jar has the OracleDialect class?

Question

I'm trying to install GridSphere through some app, there's an ant task that creates a database. So I changed the hibernate.properties file to use Oracle (instead of HSQL) but i'm getting this error:

 net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: Could not instantiate dialect class

My dialect setting is:

      hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect

I'm using Oracle10g

Answer 1

From the net.sf package of the exception, I am guessing that you are using Hibernate 2. When it was in version 2, Hibernate was hosted on sourceforge and was released with the net.sf.hibernate package. From version 3 they started using the org.hibernate package. So the dialect you should be using is net.sf.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect or net.sf.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect, instead of org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect. You can still find older 2.x hibernate releases (with sources and documentation) on the sourceforge project page.

Answer 2

This class should be in Hibernate core. Check out the source tree. What version of Hibernate are you using?

Also, you might want to use org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect in your case.
