Does Hibernate 5 still support Hibernate Spatial? - java

According to the following link:
http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.1/quickstart/html_single/#_release_bundle_downloads
There should be a folder "lib/spatial" that contains the hibernate spatial jars, however it seems to be the one folder missing in the lib folder from the standard download. (I've tried Hibernate versions 5.0.6, 5.0.8 & 5.1.0).

Yes, the move has been completed, and hibernate-spatial is now part of Hibernate 5.x.
You can always get access to the jars using http://search.maven.org/ (just search for hibernate-spatial).
I'll ask on the hibernate mailing list why it isn't included in the lib folder as documented.

Hibernate 5 is not supported yet. If you check the official website:
hibernatespatial
You will see:
Compatibility with Hibernate ORM
Hibernate Spatial version 4.3 is compatible with Hibernate 4.3.x only
Hibernate Spatial version 4.0 is compatible with Hibernate 4.x only
Hibernate Spatial version 1.1.x is compatible with Hibernate 3.6.x
Hibernate Spatial version 1.0 is compatible with Hibernate 3.2.x - 3.5.x
But do not be afraid, the work has already started on Version 5. There is already a hibernate spatial jar uploaded here, but it is less than a month old.

Can Hibernate Oracle12c dialect used hibernate 4.3

I see that Oracle12c dialect is available only for hibernate 5.
https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.0/javadocs/org/hibernate/dialect/Oracle12cDialect.html
Sadly I can't upgrade the hibernate from version 4.3.11.Final
and I would like to know if there's a way to "backport" or force to use this dialect in hibernate 4.3.
You have 2 options:
Use Oracle10gDialect, since Oracle 12c is backwards compatible, you just won't use new features.
Grab the source from Hibernate 5.4.5: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/blob/5.4.5/hibernate-core/src/main/java/org/hibernate/dialect/Oracle12cDialect.java

Spring Boot 2.x.x compatibility issue with hibernate 4.3.x

I am upgrading my spring boot version from 1.4.4 to 2.0.0 having hibernate version 4.3.11. But it looks like that spring boot 2.0.0 doesn't support hibernate version 4.x.x.
Initially, it gives me the entityManagerFactory error so I manually providede the entityManagerFactoryBean but after that, I am stuck with the following error
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.boot.model.naming.PhysicalNamingStrategy
Is there any workaround for this. I can't update my hibernate version for now because of some legacy code.
Migrating from Spring Boot version 1 to version 2 is a big upgrade, you can check their migration guide as many things changed. We did a similar upgrade from 1.5 to 2.1 and it took us two weeks to complete it.
If you really must use Spring Boot 2 and Hibernate 4, you could always force exclude the new dependencies in your dependency manager, but that would (1) defeat the purpose of using newer version and (2) generate similar amount of work as if you were refactoring your code to support new version anyway

Migration from Hibernate 3.2 to 4.3.9 TransactionHelper class not found

I am new to Hibernate but have been tasked to migrate from 3.2 to 4.3.9 I am having problems with class/methods not found. Typically getSession, TransactionHelper, SessionFactoryImplementor, PropertiesHelper.
If these are no longer available in version 4.2 what do I replace the above with?
Based on your tags you are using Spring Framework. If you have this option, instead of using plain Hibernate switch to JPA (the difference is explained in this question) with some friendly libraries e.g. Spring Data JPA. This should abstract your code from the semantics of Hibernate version (although this is not that simple).
Please note that Hibernate 5.3 was released on 24th Jul 2018. By updating to 4.2 you are updating to a legacy version.

Which jars do I need to use hibernate 3.5 and hibernate-validator? I'm use Websphere 8.0

I have searched everywhere for a list of jars necessary and they don't seem to be available all in one bundle as they are in 4.x. This is my first go at setting it up.
Also, does it matter which version of hibernate validator I use if I'm using Hibernate 3.5?
I would like to use 4.x, but I cannot solve this problem:
Unexpected UnsupportedOperationException on Hibernate validation failure
If you are not using maven for building, you should download the Hibernate bundle from SourceForge. It contains all the dependencies you need.
Also, I have been using Hibernate Validator 4.3.0.Final with Hibernate 3.5.6 final so I think there should be no problem.
You can download the Hibernate Validator bundle at SourceForge too.

Hibernate - difference between annotations and commons-annotations?

To keep it short and sweet:
There is hibernate-commons-annotations 4.1.0-Final and hibernate-annotations 3.5.6-Final.
I'm a nub, what's the difference between them, and do I need them both?
Trying to "avoid" JPA and by that I mean using the JPA 2.0 standards embedded within Hibernate.
Thanks!
Previously, hibernate-annotations was released and versioned from hibernate core. But from version 3.5 and up it is included with hibernate core. And for some reason it was still released from 3.5.0 to 3.5.6 but you do not need it anymore.
And coming to hibernate-commons-annotations, it is a utility project used by annotations based hibernate sub-projects. It is used by other hibernate projects like hibernate-search and thus is maintained as a separate project and it is a compile time dependency for hibernate-core v3.6.0 and up.

Hibernate Commons Annotations is "Utility project for annotation handling", as said for example here. It does not contain such API that normal user of Hibernate should use.
Hibernate annotations contained persistence mapping annotations and related code. Nowadays it is merged to Hibernate core.
If you really want to avoid JPA (1/2) that is easily done by not using classes from javax.persistence package or from its subpackages. If you want opposite, use javax.persistence and avoid org.hibernate packages where possible.
Good guide to get started with Hibernate can be found from http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/4.1/quickstart/en-US/html_single/. It also tells which libraries are needed always and which ones are optional.
Reference documentation contains plenty of advices about using JPA instead of deprecated legacy Hibernate annotations.
