java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration

Question

I'v got the following problem: I tried to create a simple Servlep with Eclipse:

@WebServlet(description = "Adress book servlet", urlPatterns = {"/new_address"})
public class CAddressBookServlet extends HttpServlet 
{
    public CAddressBookServlet() 
    {
        super();
    }
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException 
    {}
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException 
    {}
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
}

And it works fine with Tomcat! But then I was to add Hibernate functionality into my project. I add just one line to servlet contructor:

@WebServlet(description = "Adress book servlet", urlPatterns = {"/new_address"})
public class CAddressBookServlet extends HttpServlet 
{
    public CAddressBookServlet() 
    {
        super();
        new AnnotationConfiguration();
    }
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException 
    {}
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException 
    {}
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
}

Which cause the following error:

HTTP Status 500 - Error instantiating servlet class org.servlets.CAddressBookServlet

type Exception report

message Error instantiating servlet class org.servlets.CAddressBookServlet

description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

How can I make hibernate working with my servlet?

Looks like you are missing the Hibernate libraries from your deployed web app. — Perception

@Perception has the right answer. You need to include the Hibernate libraries with your deployed war file. You can put them in WEB-INF/lib or in the Tomcat endorsed directory. I prefer the WEB-INF/lib location, so you don't interfere with any other applications on the server.

Thanks, that's really matter. I add all the content of my User Library to WEB-INF/lib folder and the problem was solved. Thanks a lot!

I think you are missing the annotations jar. Download the Annotations

Copy the downloaded jar file to one of these locations....

 -> Tomcat lib directory
          or
 -> To the folder webapps/< your_project >/WEB-INF/lib

And restart the server

That doesn't help unfortunatly Moreover I have a library in my project build path containg hibernate-annotation.jar file. That's not a reason.
