Question

I get error when i run , i used Spring MVC + Hibernate, spring 3.2 release and hibernate 4 release.

As below my code in model , servlet xml , and list of all libraries were added to path WEB-INF/lib .

1- FEP_Health_Model

package Models;

import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

public class FEP_Health_Model {
   @Autowired
   private SessionFactory factory;

   public FEP_Health_Model()
  { 
   System.out.print("Hello Spring MVC with Hibernate");
       try{
              configureSessionFactory();
   }catch(Throwable ex){
       System.err.println("Failed to create sessionFactory object." + ex); throw new    
               ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
   }
  }
  @Transactional
  public void test()
  {
   Session session = factory.openSession();
   Transaction trans = null;
   try{
      trans = session.beginTransaction();
      /*
       Some Code 
      */
      trans.commit();
   }catch(Throwable ex){

   }finally{
       session.close();
   }
   }
   private void configureSessionFactory() throws HibernateException {
    AnnotationConfiguration configuration = new AnnotationConfiguration();
    configuration.configure().addAnnotatedClass(FepEnergyData.class);       
    factory = configuration.buildSessionFactory();
   }
}

i hope anybody find solution for My problem

Answer 1

Per the Hibernate annotations 3.5 documentation:*

Hibernate 3.5 and onward contains Hibernate Annotations.

You should remove the dependency on hibernate-annotations , and remove the excludes from the hibernate-entitymanager dependency . Generally, you should not mix versions of dependent packages.

This is work for me.

Answer 2

Had the same error message. Removing the dependency on hibernate-annotations from the pom (as described by Prem above) solved the issue and Hibernate went on to generate the schema (in my case).
