Spring MVC + Hibernate Context初始化失败org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException：创建bean时出错

Question

Good morning all. I'm dealing with it for 3 days without getting a solution, I tried to read other similar questione, but no one helped me. I have my first Spring mvc hibernate application. When deploying it i got this stack trace. I'm deploying it on Tomcat 8

    ERROR [localhost-startStop-3]: Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'illuminazioneService': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: public it.besmart.dao.IlluminazioneDao it.besmart.service.IlluminazioneServiceImpl.dao; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'illuminazioneDao': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private org.hibernate.SessionFactory it.besmart.dao.AbstractDao.sessionFactory; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionfactory' defined in class path resource [it/besmart/config/HibernateConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.AbstractMethodError

As I can understand there is a problem with bean creation, maybe in HibernateConfiguration.

This is HibernateConfiguration.class

package it.besmart.config;

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.sql.DataSource;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.PropertySource;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource;
import org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager;
import org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.EnableTransactionManagement;


@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@ComponentScan({ "it.besmart.config" })
@PropertySource(value = { "classpath:db.properties" })
public class HibernateConfiguration {

@Autowired
private Environment environment;

@Bean
public LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionfactory(){
    LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();
    sessionFactory.setDataSource(dataSource());
    sessionFactory.setPackagesToScan(new String[] {"it.besmart.models"});
    sessionFactory.setHibernateProperties(hibernateProperties());
    return sessionFactory;
}

@Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
    DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
    dataSource.setDriverClassName(environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.driverClassName"));
    dataSource.setUrl(environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.url"));
    dataSource.setUsername(environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.username"));
    dataSource.setPassword(environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.password"));
    return dataSource;
}

private Properties hibernateProperties() {
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.put("hibernate.dialect", environment.getRequiredProperty("hibernate.dialect"));
    properties.put("hibernate.show_sql", environment.getRequiredProperty("hibernate.show_sql"));
    properties.put("hibernate.format_sql", environment.getRequiredProperty("hibernate.format_sql"));
    return properties;        
}

@Bean
@Autowired
public HibernateTransactionManager transactionManager(SessionFactory s) {
   HibernateTransactionManager txManager = new HibernateTransactionManager();
   txManager.setSessionFactory(s);
   return txManager;
}
}

db.properties is in the class path (main/src/resources) and the class is in it.besmart.configuration package and the models in it.besmart.models

Than I have IlluminazioneService

package it.besmart.service;

import it.besmart.models.Illuminazione;

import java.util.List;

public interface IlluminazioneService {

List <Illuminazione> showIlluminazione();

    Illuminazione findByIdPostoLuce(int idPostoLuce);

    Illuminazione findByIsLit(int isLit);

    void saveIlluminazione(Illuminazione illuminazione);

    void deleteOccupazioneByIdPostoLuce(int idPostoLuce);

}

IlluminazioneDao

package it.besmart.dao;

import it.besmart.models.Illuminazione;

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;

public interface IlluminazioneDao {

    List <Illuminazione> showIlluminazione();

    Illuminazione findByIdPostoLuce(int idPostoLuce);

    Illuminazione findByIsLit(int isLit);

    void saveIlluminazione(Illuminazione illuminazione);

    void deleteOccupazioneByIdPostoLuce(int idPostoLuce);

}

Illuminazione

package it.besmart.models;

import java.util.Date;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;

import static javax.persistence.GenerationType.IDENTITY;

import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
import javax.persistence.Temporal;
import javax.persistence.TemporalType;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;

/**
 * Illuminazione generated by hbm2java
 */
@Entity
@Table(name = "illuminazione", catalog = "SMARTPARK")
public class Illuminazione implements java.io.Serializable {

    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private Integer idEvento;
    private int idPostoLuce;
    private Date dateTime;
    private boolean isLit;

    public Illuminazione() {
    }

    public Illuminazione(int idPostoLuce, Date dateTime, boolean isLit) {
        this.idPostoLuce = idPostoLuce;
        this.dateTime = dateTime;
        this.isLit = isLit;
    }

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "id_evento", unique = true, nullable = false)
    public Integer getIdEvento() {
        return this.idEvento;
    }

    public void setIdEvento(Integer idEvento) {
        this.idEvento = idEvento;
    }

    @NotNull
    @Column(name = "id_posto_luce", nullable = false)
    public int getIdPostoLuce() {
        return this.idPostoLuce;
    }

    public void setIdPostoLuce(int idPostoLuce) {
        this.idPostoLuce = idPostoLuce;
    }

    @NotNull
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    @Column(name = "date_time", nullable = false, length = 19)
    public Date getDateTime() {
        return this.dateTime;
    }

    public void setDateTime(Date dateTime) {
        this.dateTime = dateTime;
    }

    @NotNull
    @Column(name = "isLit", nullable = false)
    public boolean isIsLit() {
        return this.isLit;
    }

    public void setIsLit(boolean isLit) {
        this.isLit = isLit;
    }

}

AbstractDao is

package it.besmart.dao;

import java.io.Serializable;

import java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType;

import org.hibernate.Criteria;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;

public abstract class AbstractDao<PK extends Serializable, T> {

    private final Class<T> persistentClass;

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public AbstractDao(){
        this.persistentClass =(Class<T>) ((ParameterizedType) this.getClass().getGenericSuperclass()).getActualTypeArguments()[1];
    }

    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    protected Session getSession(){
        return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public T getByKey(PK key) {
        return (T) getSession().get(persistentClass, key);
    }

    public void persist(T entity) {
        getSession().persist(entity);
    }

    public void delete(T entity) {
        getSession().delete(entity);
    }

    protected Criteria createEntityCriteria(){
        return getSession().createCriteria(persistentClass);
    }

}

I don't know if anything else could be useful for a solution. I have also the implementation classes, if needed. Thanks to all

    }   
}

Answer 1

LocalSessionFactoryBean is a spring-class, dedicated to work with hibernate 4. The AbstractMethodError leads to the conclusion that the method/constructor the spring-class is trying to call does not exist on the hibernate-class you have on the classpath. Could it be that you have different versions of hibernate-jars in your classpath?

i would step into the source code of the classes involved. i guess you will find a method-call in SessionFactoryImpl to a method/constructor that does not exist for the class-version you have on the classpath. it could be an unsupported ehcache-version or envers-version perhaps.

it seems the error has something todo with an incompatible integrator, does that ring a bell?

Answer 2

Spring tries to set the sessionFactory on the abstract class AbstractDao , and this can not work as the error message notices.

Do you have an @Component annotation on the concrete DAO?

Answer 3

I had a similar problem with failed Context initialization . I am currently with Spring 5.1.0.Final . It is logical to use and the latest version of hibernate-validator, but it turned out that the error appears when you put newer than hibernate-validator 4.3.2.Final . I can not explain it, but it helped me. Maybe you should try with lower hibernate-validator version .

I hope I've been helpful.
