#### Update 4/30


I finally did find the real [Hibernate 3 Migration Guide](http://www.hibernate.org/250.html). My fun with Hibernate is over though, I've found an easier persistence solution with the clients  homegrown method. I believe every single java project I've worked on in the past 10 years has used a different and unique Persistence mechanism.  My favorite was [Francois'](http://www.eclipsecon.org/2007/index.php?page=presenters/#Francois_Granade) PersistentEntity at ViaFone.

I’ve been strugling for the last day trying to get a Java application working, mainly, trying to get Hibernate to see a DataSource. Now I’m at a point where I get this error message:

[junit] (cfg.Configuration 1312) configuring from resource: /hibernate.cfg.xml

[junit] (cfg.Configuration 1289) Configuration resource: /hibernate.cfg.xml

[junit] (util.DTDEntityResolver 30 ) Don’t use old DTDs, read the Hibernate 3.x Migration Guide!

A quick search does not turn up a Hibernate Migration Guide, so I decided to create this one.

The Hibernate 3.x Migration Guide

1. Get Ruby

1. Install Rails

1. Rebuild your application.

1. Have fun again!
