java.lang.AbstractMethodError：org.jboss.as.jpa.hibernate3.HibernateAnnotationScanner.scan

Question

I use Maven 3.3.1, JavaServerFaces 2.1, JPA 2.0, Spring 4.1.6, Hibernate 4.3.6, and I'm getting following error:

    16:11:34,464 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-4) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.persistenceunit."Project.war#org.hibernate.tutorial.jpa": org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.persistenceunit."Project.war#org.hibernate.tutorial.jpa": Failed to start service

My pom.xml:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
      <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
      <version>4.3.6.Final</version>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
      <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
      <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
      <version>4.3.6.Final</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
     <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
     <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
     <version>3.5.5-Final</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
     <groupId>org.hibernate.common</groupId>
     <artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations</artifactId>
     <version>4.0.4.Final</version>
  </dependency>

In my lib folder I have:

• hibernate-commons-annotations-4.0.4.final.jar
• hibernate-core-4.3.6.Final.jar
• hibernate-entitymanager-4.3.6.Final.jar
• hibernate-infinispan-4.3.6.Final.jar
• hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Remove the dependency on hibernate-annotations 3.5.5-Final. That is not needed in (and presumably is not compatible with) Hibernate 4.
