nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax/persistence/Table.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index;

Question

I am getting error

nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax/persistence/Table.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index;

my controller-servlet.xml file is

The jars file I have are

my RepositoryImpl is

@Repository
public class BMDashboardRepositoryImpl implements BMDashboardRepository{


    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sf){
        this.sessionFactory = sf;
    }

    @Override
    public ArrayList<BatchJob> retrieveAllBatchJobs() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("Repository Impl: in retrieve all batch jobs");
        Session session= sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();

        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        List<BatchJob> allBatchJobs=session.createQuery("From BatchJob").list();



        for(BatchJob bj:allBatchJobs)
        {
            System.out.println(bj.toString());
        }

        return (ArrayList<BatchJob>) allBatchJobs;
    }

}

When I am publishing the code in webspehre, I am getting this error. I think there is some problem with jar files?

thanks in advance

Answer 1

I found the work around for this.

I was using WAS 8.5 which provides its own JDK which supports JPA 2.0 . @Table.indexes() method was introduced in JPA 2.1 .

Solution for this

1)Upgrade WAS to 9

2)Instead of using @Table annotation try using xml mapping . I used ClassName.hbm.xml.
