I manage to solve this problem getting hint from post stackoverflow post about GWT. The post tells that as JDBC shouldn’e be on client side, rather on server side.
I am trying to make a simple web application that adds a user to database using GWT RPC with Hibernate, MySql & eclipse IDE. I have already a simple version of hibernate program running & now I am trying to do same using GWT RPC.
Though probably there are certain different practices when using hibernate with RPC. Firstly I had to put jars/libs to war/web.inf/lib add before adding them to classpath, while I made a simple folder in src, put all jars/libraries to that & then added to classpath for simple hibernate app. It continues, compiler then raised error about unavailability of cfg.xml & mapping files which were in the hibernate files package(that contain pojo files). I moved them to src folder & error gone. But now error is about session creation. This time moving Util file to src did not work.
This is directory structure of my project:
src
hbm.xml
cfg.xml
hibDomain(hibernate package)
rppctest.client (GWT package)
rppctest.server (GWT package)
I am using MySQL on Windows 7.
Here are the error messages & my code.

Your hibernate class file (User) is in “hibDomain” package. where as the mapping you are making is for “com.hib.User”. change this to hibDomain.User and it might work.
