DatabaseLogin.usePlatform with Toplink 11

Question

Hi,
We currently have our system setup with toplink 10, we do spatial queries so are looking at moving to toplink 11.
I have changed the jar files and fixed compilation errors due to package changes.
We also use spring with the following xml
<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.toplink.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="configLocation" value="sessions.xml"/>
<property name="databasePlatform">
<bean class="oracle.toplink.platform.database.oracle.Oracle10Platform"/>
</property>
<property name="sessionLog">
<bean class="oracle.toplink.logging.DefaultSessionLog"/>
</property>
</bean>
On starting the server (OC4J) I get the following error:
Error creating bean with name 'accessControlDao' defined in class path resource [applicationContext-dao.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 class path resource [applicationContext-dao.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.toplink.sessions.DatabaseLogin.usePlatform(Loracle/toplink/internal/databaseaccess/DatabasePlatform;)V
at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionValueResolver.resolveReference(BeanDefinitionValueResolver.java:275)
Looks to me like toplink 11 doesn't have the method oracle.toplink.sessions.DatabaseLogin.usePlatform, what should I us instead?
I hope this isn't too vague and that someone can help.
Thanks in advance.

There is still a usePlatform method, you probably just need to recompile the code (super-type changed).
You may also consider upgrading to EclipseLink.
