hibernate中抛出的一个奇怪错误

4.今天遇到一个很让人郁闷的问题：一直运行良好的程序抛出了一个匪夷所思的异常，异常堆栈内容如下：
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'customerDAO' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-config/customerContext.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'sessionFactory' while setting bean property 'sessionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-config/applicationContext.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.hibernate.type.StringType.objectToSQLString(Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/String;

在网上搜了一遍，没发现任何人遇到过这种错误，最后好不容易在hibernate官方网站上找到一个有用的内容，说这个问题，可能是jvm -classic选项的问题，然后说建议重新用自己的JDK编译hbierante(原文地址：http://www.hibernate.org/116.html。标题名为：I see a java.lang.AbstractMethodError: net/sf/hibernate/persister/AbstractEntityPersister.... at startup!)
，然后由这个得到启发用最新版的hibernate(3.13)替换以前的hibernate(3.05)，以前的hibernate(3.05)是spring(1.2.8)版本自带的，当时为了兼容性考虑，就用了spring自带的hibenrate，没想到出了这个郁闷的问题
