无法为事务 JAVA MAVEN SPRING 打开 Hibernate 会话

Question

1. I've seen many replies, and none worked
2. My Config -> Maven / Spring 4 / Hibernate 4 / MySQL 5 / Eclipse Mars / JSF 2 / PrimeFaces 5 / Spring Security
3. The solution was working with old depedencies, I did a mvn update:versions and I'm trying to figure out solutions (It was working fine, but can't stand to the idea of every dependency is outdated)

Here is the error I get after submitting Login form (The whole Tomcat Trace)

Answer 1

The stacktrace indicates that the org.hibernate.engine.transaction.spi.TransactionContext isn't in the web app classpath. This class is in hibernate-core 4 library.

There are several ways to include it in the classpath as you can see at the tomcat documentation section Class Loader definitions .

Due to you are using maven I suggest you to set scope compile for the library dependency to be sure that it will be included in your webapp lib folder. Check is defined like:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
  <version>4.3.11.Final</version>
  <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

Also check the web app has the standard layout folder. See here to know how it looks and the final structure of the war package. Be sure you don't override any configuration related to lib folder in your maven-war-plugin because by default tomcat will look for libraries in WEB-INF/lib folder of war package.

I too got the same exception but resolved it with the following configuration.

My POM.xml:

<properties>
        <org.springframework-version>4.2.4.RELEASE</org.springframework-version>
        <hibernate.version>5.0.7.Final</hibernate.version>
</properties>

My servlet-context.xml configuration (Mentioned only hibernate related config):

<beans:bean id="hibernate5AnnotatedSessionFactory"
        class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
        <beans:property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
        <beans:property name="annotatedClasses">
            <beans:list>
                <beans:value>your pojo name along with package</beans:value>
            </beans:list>
        </beans:property>
        <beans:property name="hibernateProperties">
            <beans:props>
                <beans:prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
                </beans:prop>
                <beans:prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</beans:prop>
            </beans:props>
        </beans:property>
    </beans:bean>

    <beans:bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.HibernateTransactionManager">
        <beans:property name="sessionFactory" ref="hibernate5AnnotatedSessionFactory" />
    </beans:bean>
