引起原因：java.lang.ClassNotFoundException：org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration

Question

I am trying to run a basic hibernate 5 program using maven. It gives error while creating the Configuration object. What am I missing ? Getting the following error:

    Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire method: public void org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration.setConfigurers(java.util.List); nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration

dao-context.xml:

I am using jndi name which is configured in websphere application server admin console as datasource.

    <!-- turn on spring transaction annotation -->
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager"/>

<!-- Transaction Manager -->
<bean id="transactionManager"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.HibernateTransactionManager">
    <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>

<!-- Session Factory -->
<bean id="sessionFactory"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    <property name="packagesToScan" value="com.pnc.wsp.bloa.entity" />
    <property name="hibernateProperties">
        <props>
            <prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle12cDialect</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
        </props>
    </property>
</bean>

<!-- dataSource configuration -->
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
    <property name="jndiName" value="jdbc/bloaDB" />
    <property name="lookupOnStartup" value="false"/>
    <property name="cache" value="true" />
    <property name="proxyInterface"  value="javax.sql.DataSource" />
</bean>

This sessionFactory is used in Dao class with autowiring like below

@Autowired
@Qualifier("sessionFactory")
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

The SpringORM version you are using is 4.2.4 .SO the compatible hibernate core versions are 5.0.5/4.3.11/3.6.10
