I've downloaded hibernate3 beta 4 and hibernate annotations 3 alpha 2, and am trying to compile a very simple "hello world" example. With jdk 1.5 installed, i'm trying to compile a pojo:

package hello;

import javax.ejb.*;

@Stateless
@Remote
public class HelloWorldBean {
public String sayHello() {
return "Hello World!!!";
}
}

and a hibernate utility class:

package hello;

import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration;

public class HibernateUtil {

private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;

static {
try {

AnnotationConfiguration configuration = new AnnotationConfiguration();
configuration.addPackage("hello");
configuration.addAnnotatedClass(HelloWorldBean.class);
sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory();
} catch (Throwable ex) {
// Log exception!
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
}

public static Session getSession() throws HibernateException {
return sessionFactory.openSession();
}
}

I use the following command:

C:\temp\ejb3>c:\bin\dev\java\jdk_1.5\bin\apt -classpath lib\hibernate3.jar;lib\ejb-3.0-edr1.jar;lib\hibernate-annotations.jar;lib\jboss-j2ee.jar -sourcepath src src\hello\HibernateUtil.java src\hello\HelloWorldBean.java

and get the following results:

src\hello\HelloWorldBean.java:9: cannot find symbol
symbol: class Stateless
@Stateless
^
src\hello\HelloWorldBean.java:10: cannot find symbol
symbol: class Remote
@Remote
^

I read through the documentation on apt, and it seems that I need to specify an instance of AnnotationProcessorFactory. I grepped the hibernate and hibernate-annotations source trees, but found no references; is this a class I need to implement myself, or am I jumping the gun - that such an implementation will be included with hibernate, just not yet? I sincerely appreciate any help or feedback. Thanks,

sorry - it seems this question was answered on feb 19 in the topic "Hibernate Annotations 3.0 alpha 2 & EJB3.0 EDR 2".
