Spring MVC 4.2.2 and Hibernate 5.0.2 giving error

Below are the dependency version details on the pom.xml

<!-- spring --> 
<org.springframework-version>4.2.2.RELEASE</org.springframework-version>
<org.springframework.data-version>1.11.0.RELEASE</org.springframework.data-version>

<!-- hibernate --> 
<org.hibernate.hibernate-core>5.0.2.Final</org.hibernate.hibernate-core> 
<org.hibernate.hibernate-annotations>3.5.6-Final</org.hibernate.hibernate-annotations> 
<org.hibernate.hibernate-commons-annotations>3.2.0.Final</org.hibernate.hibernate-commons-annotations> 
<org.hibernate.hibernate-validator>5.2.2.Final</org.hibernate.hibernate-validator>

I'd picked the Hibernate version details from the "spring-orm" pom and found the Hibernate 5.0.2 is compatible with Spring 4.2.2

With the same dependencies in-case of Spring core and Hibernate it's working fine and giving desired result. But with Spring MVC and Hibernate integration, it's giving below error

Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.reflection.JPAMetadataProvider.(Lorg/hibernate/boot/spi/MetadataBuildingOptions;)V

If any further information is needed, please put in the comment section. I will provide the entire configuration details.

Thanks in Advance. :-)

Dependency Hierarchy

Solution

  • On removing the below dependencies from pom.xml has resolved the issue.

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
    <version>3.5.6-Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.0.Final</version>
</dependency>

    Because of this dependencies, there was conflict on the Resolved dependencies.(Refer the pic attached on the question).

    hibernate-annotations is not required, It was dependent on older version of hibernate-core and hibernate-commons-annotations

    hibernate-commons-annotations (version 5.0.2) is present in hibernate-core as a dependent jar. So it's not required to mention older version in pom.xml
