Problema com Hibernate 4.1.7 e Spring 3.2

Boa tarde pessoal.

Estou tentando configurar um projeto com o Hibernate 4.1.7 e Spring 3.2. Porém, ao inicializar o Tomcat, ocorre um erro. Este erro ocorre somente quando vou mapear uma classe com a tag @Entity. Tentei de todas as maneiras, troquei versão do Hibernate, versao dos .jar, e não tenho ideia mais do que fazer. Se alguém puder ajudar, agradeço.

Segue o stack trace.

Valeu!

cara, não saco de spring, mas sei que a mensagem de erro ocorre quando se tem bibliotecas em versões incompatíveis:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.metadata.ClassMetadata.getMappedClass(Lorg/hibernate/EntityModeLjava/lang/Class;

Tente trocar a versão do hibernate.

É praticamente certeza que é versão de jar mesmo. O problema é que não estou usando o Maven, to puxando no dedo os jar, vou verificar.

Valeu!
