Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' Invocation of init method failed

Question

I'm working on a full stack web application using Spring and Hibernate. Trying to run some test code and I keep getting this error. Here's the full stack trace:

Let me know if you need anything else. TIA.

Answer 1

You should update your POM and use newer version of hibernate-core. The version you use is too old and does not have org.hibernate.boot package. Switch to 4.3.0.Final or higher.

Update: You use hibernate-entitymanager with version 4.3.5.Final and it expects that hibernate-core has the same major version number. So you should either put 4.2.0 or 4.3.5 in both dependencies.

Answer 2

In fact your problem is NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/boot/registry/classloading/internal/ClassLoaderServiceImpl$Work


and you have this error because you use old version of hibernate-core. So you have to change your version of hibernate-core to 4.3.11.Final link to maven hibernate-core repo

take a look here==> https://www.codatlas.com/github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/master/hibernate-core/src/main/java/org/hibernate/boot/registry/classloading/internal/ClassLoaderServiceImpl.java?line=30
