Can you provide a small sample ?

Please take note of this GlassFish 2.1.1 issue with Hibernate :
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12812

Currently I am the 'test lead' for GlassFish and I would like to sort
compatibility issues like these out. Can you reply to
quality_at_glassfish.dev.java.net

There is also a sample you can download here with a Hibernate DAO that works
in GlassFish 3.0: http://wikis.sun.com/display/GlassFish/FishCATGold :
