I am new to Struts and hibernate. For understanding it i tried doing a login application. I use Struts 2, Hibernate 3.2.5, Java 6, Tomcat 6, in netbeans IDE 7.1.2. I am getting an exception like
Exception
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
root cause: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class hibernateutilities.HibernateUtil
Server log
Initial SessionFactory creation failed.java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter
I am getting this exception when executing
SessionFactory sessionFactory = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory();
If anyone want more details please specify.
As per my understanding with the error, You have asm version that is incompatible with your Hibernate version.
It's hard to tell at this time the exact matching version so i believe my best bet will be to take help of maven and let maven do this in correct way for me,
other way is to look hibernate-core for dependencies and its version
