AND without "type=" ERROR

Answer 1

Perhaps you don't have Joda-Time Hibernate in the classpath. It's needed for type="org.joda.time.contrib.hibernate.PersistentDateTime".

UPDATE:

It appears that Joda-time Hibernate support currently doesn't work with Hibernate 3.6, see PersistentDateTime doesn't work in hibernate 3.6 - ID: 3090209 and Recompile Joda-Time Hibernate to make it work with Hibernate 3.6.

You can use User Type project instead (type attribute becomes type="org.jadira.usertype.dateandtime.joda.PersistentDateTime").
