Jboss 7.1.1.Final - Hibernate - How to Setup correctly?

[srikrishnak]

We are migrating to 7.1.1.Final and trying to figure what's the right way to setup hibernate.  We have a Dynamic Web Project and we rely on JBoss Tools to build the war file.  We only have a WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml file which failed to load when I deployed the war file using admin console => Manage Deployments with "/hibernate.cfg.xml file not found".  I found in the 7.1 developer documentation that if there is a META-INF/persistence.xml file, it will automatically pull required libraries.  When I added a persistence.xml file, I do not get the "/hibernate.cfg.xml not found", but now I get a "java.lnag.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/HibernateException" error or "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/jdbc/Work" error.  Next I'm going to try either shelving all the required libraries in WEB-INF/lib/ folder or add a jboss-deployment-structure.xml and see if it helps, but I'm curious what's the right approach here?  Is there a clean way to include hibernate?  I've attached my sample project I've created to demonstrate the problem as an attachment. We are using domain mode. Please review and let me know.

I do not know if this is right way, but the minimum set of configuration worked for me is to add dependencies for hibernate in jboss-deployment-structure.xml as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
  <deployment>
    <dependencies>
      <module name="org.hibernate" />
      <module name="org.hibernate.envers" />
      <module name="org.hibernate.validator" />
    </dependencies>
    <resources>
        <resource-root path="hibernate-core-4.0.1.Final.jar"/>
        <resource-root path="hibernate-commons-annotations-4.0.1.Final.jar"/>
        <resource-root path="hibernate-entitymanager-4.0.1.Final.jar"/>
        <resource-root path="hibernate-infinispan-4.0.1.Final.jar"/>
        <resource-root path="hibernate-envers-4.0.1.Final.jar"/>
              <resource-root path="hibernate-validator-4.2.0.Final.jar"/>
    </resources>
   </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

Attached my working sample as well.
