GlassFishV3 Hibernate library issue

Question

I am trying to deploy a JAR file in a GlassFishv3 server. This results in the error:

com.sun.enterprise.admin.cli.CommandException: 
remote failure: 
Exception while preparing the app : 
java.lang.RuntimeException:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence

I thought that the class "org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence" is missing and tried to add libraries containing it to the folder "glassfish\domains\domain1\lib". I took them from my NetBeans folder "NetBeans 6.9\java\modules\ext\hibernate". The result is, that glassfish is not starting any longer. It runs into a timeout. The last log entry is

INFO|glassfish3.0.1|javax.enterprise.system.std.com.sun.enterprise.v3.services.impl|_ThreadID=21;_ThreadName=Thread-1;|{felix.fileinstall.poll (ms) = 5000, felix.fileinstall.dir = C:\glassfishv301\glassfish\domains\domain1\autodeploy\bundles, felix.fileinstall.debug = 1, felix.fileinstall.bundles.new.start = true, felix.fileinstall.tmpdir = C:\DOKUME~1\me\LOKALE~1\Temp\fileinstall-8074722487477598658, felix.fileinstall.filter = null}|#]

The autodeploy\bundles folder mentioned in that entry is empty.

Any idea how to move formard?

If you want to use Hibernate as the JPA provider, my advice would be to install the Hibernate JPA module via the GlassFish v3 Update Center:

The other way would be to package Hibernate EntityManager inside your application. Didn't experiment this though.

And for the record, the command-line version to add the Hibernate package is :

bin/pkg install hibernate
