I have put all the jar files in lib folder. I don't know how to solve this, where is my mistake.

This has nothing to do with Hibernate, you don't have Log4J on your classpath, and Hibernate expects Log4J to be available. — JamesENL, Jul 17 '14 at 06:16
Consider using a framework like Maven, which will automatically download all necessary dependencies for you. — Magnilex, Jul 17 '14 at 06:18

Add this in your pom file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
</dependency>

Excellent. Worked for me, but I would suggest downloading the jar directly from the maven repo ... https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/commons-logging/commons-logging/1.2. Or if you are able use Gradle/Maven as this is then automatic. – Sep 11 '17 at 16:26

Include hibernate jar files (especially the required jars) in your lib folder

antlr-2.7.7.jar

dom4j-1.6.1.jar
javassist-3.12.1.GA.jar
hibernate-core-4.0.1.Final.jar
hibernate-commons-annotations-4.0.1.Final.jar
hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar
jboss-logging-3.1.0.CR2.jar

I had a similar problem: In my project the solution was to add the following jars of org.apache.commons:

commons-logging-1.2 commons-dbcp2-2.1.1 commons-pool2-2.4.2
