上下文初始化失败Spring MVC错误

Question

I'm receiving an exception when I try to start my Spring MVC application with a deployed war file on a tomcat8 (java 1.8_65):

Context initialization failed Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in biz.aspsol.solarix.init.configuration.WebAppConfig: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.JoinTable.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index;

What is strange is that I can run the application without problems from my Intellij Idea however the deployment with the war file does not work.

Here is my maven dependency tree:

Answer 1

Most likely you have an older version of JPA api deployed in your tomcat. That is why you see no exceptions when deploying from IntelliJ.

indexes attribute was introduced to @JoinTable in JPA 2.1. If you use older version of JPA you'll get the exact same exception at runtime.

Check that there are no other JPA api jars in the $CATALINA_BASE/lib folder

Answer 2

I found the solution for the problem. I have included the hibernate-jpa-2.1-api dependency into my pom.xml file.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.1-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
