java maven spring-boot hibernate-4.x hibernate-5.x

Maven, Can't go from Hibernate 4 to Hibernate 5 in my pom

With my Spring Boot 1.2.5 project, I can't figure out how to go from Hibernate 4 to Hibernate 5. Currently, I have this in my pom:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.3.Final</version>
</dependency>

And that works great. If I replace it with this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
</dependency>   
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>5.0.2.Final</version>
</dependency>

Not so much. It throws a pile of exceptions like this:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:     org.hibernate.boot.registry.classloading.internal.ClassLoaderServiceImpl$Work
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:381)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:424)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:331)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)
at     org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.SpringHibernateJpaPersistenceProvider.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(SpringHibernateJpaPersistenceProvider.java:49)

I tried adding the JBoss repository to my pom, but that made no difference:

<repositories>

    <repository>  
      <id>jboss-public-repository-group</id>  
      <name>JBoss Public Maven Repository Group</name>  
      <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/</url>  
      <layout>default</layout>  
      <releases>  
        <enabled>true</enabled>  
        <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>  
      </releases>  
      <snapshots>  
        <enabled>false</enabled>  
        <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>  
      </snapshots>  
    </repository>      

</repositories>

What's the trick?

Solution

If you want to override versions which are managed by Spring Boot, you should only use the properties which are provided by Spring Boot. You can check the available properties in the pom.xml for the project spring-boot-dependencies (https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/master/spring-boot-dependencies/pom.xml).

In your case, you should define the following properties:

<hibernate.version>5.0.3.Final</hibernate.version>
<spring.version>4.2.2.RELEASE</spring.version>

This will ensure that all required libraries for that framework are pulled in with the same version.
