Hibernate Error java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

Question

I'm using Jersey as Rest web service and Hibernate entity manager to persist JPA models. and I'm using Tomcat 8 as container.

Here is the content of the persistence.xml file :

<persistence 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"
             version="2.0">

    <persistence-unit name="manager1" transaction-type="JTA">

        <properties>

            <!--PostgreSQL-->
            <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="org.postgresql.Driver"/>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres"/>
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect"/>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="postgres"/>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="postgres"/>
            <property name="hibernate.archive.autodetection" value="class"/>
            <property name="hibernate.id.new_generator_mappings" value="true"/>
            <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/>
            <property name="hibernate.ejb.metamodel.generation" value="disabled"/>
            <property name="hibernate.ejb.naming_strategy" value="org.hibernate.cfg.DefaultComponentSafeNamingStrategy"/>
            <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
        </properties>

    </persistence-unit>

</persistence>

And my Rest call is as simple as this :

@GET
@Path("/")
public Response test() {

    EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("manager1");

    return Response.status(Response.Status.OK).build();
}

and here is my web.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

  <servlet-mapping>

  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

But it gives me this error :

Are you using any build tool such as Maven or Gradle? Usually, this sort of error is due to library mismatch. Please look at the jar file dependency tree. Both these tools are able to provide the dependency tree for the list of jars called. — Ravindran Kanniah

I'm using Maven , and I've run mvn dependency:tree and nothing I can see as not correct !! I'll paste the mvn tree in the post thanks! — Mohamed Taboubi

You have right @RavindranKanniah :) there is issue with the dependencies : to correct the things I've used only <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId> instead of <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId> and <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId> — Mohamed Taboubi

This sort of issue is real pain but requires patience because it is time consuming to debug. I suggest look at this issue stackoverflow.com/questions/32635649/hibernate-spring-error which is similar to yours in terms of error. Anyway try to down grade some Hibernate jars to see whether the error is still there. — Ravindran Kanniah

Based on the comment of @Ravindran Kanniah here is the answer :

There is dependencies' conflict between hibernate-core and hibernate-annotations

So I've corrected my maven pom.xml by commenting the artifact giving the conflict :

<!--Hibernate-->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <!--<dependency>-->
            <!--<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>-->
            <!--<artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>-->
        <!--</dependency>-->

Sorry for being late to the party... but this is not the solution.? What if we need both hibernate-annotations and hibernate-core?
