java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence

Question

I'm trying to deploy an application in the following environment.

JPA 2.0
Spring 3.2.2
MySQL 5.6.11

My configurations until now in the application-context.xml file are as under.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
       xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
       xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
       xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.5.xsd
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.2.xsd
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-2.5.xsd">


    <bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean">

        <!--<property name="jpaVendorAdapter">

                <property name="generateDdl" value="true"/>
                <property name="databasePlatform" value="org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect"/>
            </bean>
        </property>-->
    </bean>

    <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.PersistenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor"/>

    <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
        <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory"/>
    </bean>

    <tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager"/>

    <bean id="testDAOService" class="admin.dao.TestDAO"/>
</beans>

This works fine until the commented lines in the above xml file are uncommented. When these lines are uncommented, I'm getting the following exception.

I have tried to add hibernate-entity-manger-4.2.0.jar to the classpath but that caused another exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.HibernateException.

So, which jar files are needed exactly here? Is it dependent upon the Hibernate framework which I'm not using in this application?

The persistence.xml file looks like the following.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
  <persistence-unit name="WebAppPU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
    <provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
    <class>model.Test</class>
    <exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>
    <properties>
      <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/social_networking?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull"/>
      <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="root"/>
      <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
      <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="root"/>
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Update :

Quick reply : (as the answers below do not directly address the cause of the exception)

The cause of the stated exception was (most probably) that I misconfigured databasePlatform as org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect in the given XML file though I was using MySQL 5.x.

It should have actually been org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect instead (or version-restricted/version-specific - org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect).

Disclaimer : I do not remember precisely the exact cause of the exception after more than one year but most probably (99.99%) this misconfiguration was the culprit.

Tiny, I have a similar error, not sure what causes this error! stackoverflow.com/q/27293726/599528 — Jacob

Sorry, I went through the post but I did not get cause of the exception. As to this question, I myself cannot remember precisely what changes actually made it work. I did not answer myself here, since I did not much respond to the community as I was very new to this field at the time of this post. — Tiny

If you look at spring-orm maven dependency you will see that it depends on hibernate-entitymanager which is the jar that contains the class not found.

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-orm/3.1.1.RELEASE

Add those dependencies to your maven configuration file.

I have already tried adding hibernate-entitymanager-4.2.0.jar but didn't resolve the problem.

Tiny Over a year ago

When I added only hibernate-entitymanager-4.2.0.jar, I got this exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.HibernateException.

Tiny Over a year ago

I have now added I have added these jar files to the classpath as the answer provided by Templar indicates : cglib-2.1.3.jar, hibernate-c3p0-4.2.0.CR1.jar, hibernate-core-4.2.0.CR1.jar, javassist-3.15.0-GA.jar and hibernate-entitymanager-4.2.0.CR1.jar. This caused java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.proxy.EntityNotFoundDelegate.

fmodos Over a year ago

this is a pain the ass, but if you look here mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-orm/… you will see that you should use hibernate-core-3.2.2, because the 4.2.0 doesnt have the EntityNotFoundDelegate class

Tiny Over a year ago

I have just added all jar files supplied in Hibernate 3.2.5 (which I was using earlier) and I got an additional exception

java.lang.IllegalStateException: PersistenceProvider [org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence@1803041] did not return an EntityManagerFactory for name 'WebAppPU'

. I have the same configuration as mentioned by this answer though.

Deleting the directory:

C:\Users\${user}.m2\repository\org\hibernate\

and installing the again did the trick for me.

The HibernateException was just missing and therefore a linkt to hibernate-entitymanager or the maven repo was corrupt.

When you are using HibernateTemplate you need to use Hibernate 3.*

Otherwise you can use Hibernate 4.*

Librarys:

org.springframework.spring-orm
cglib
org.hibernate.hibernate-core
org.hibernate-c3p0
javaassist

I'm not using Hibernate anymore still these jar files needed? And pom.xml should be unnecessary, since this is not a maven project.

Lukas Eichler Over a year ago

There are no jars for jpa. Hibernate is just like EclipseLink or OpenJPA a JPA provider that means you need one of them to use JPA. I just included this pom.xml so you can quickly download these jars.

Tiny Over a year ago

I have added these jar files to the classpath cglib-2.1.3.jar, hibernate-c3p0-4.2.0.CR1.jar, hibernate-core-4.2.0.CR1.jar, javassist-3.15.0-GA.jar and hibernate-entitymanager-4.2.0.CR1.jar. This caused java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.proxy.EntityNotFoundDelegate. Tried to search in Google but didn't find.

Hibernate has a whole mess of dependencies that are best addressed using maven, ivy, or some other java dependency manager. You appear to be using the Hibernate ORM adapter for Spring.
