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

I am upgrading jpa, hibernate, spring, and jdk to enable the new features from JPA 2.1. But I am getting the following error:

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

I have read other postings about this, but they do not resolve the error on my machine. For instance, SJuan76's answer to this posting suggests upgrading to jpa 2.1, but I have set the eclipse jpa project facet to version 2.1 and I have also included hibernate-jpa-2.1-api in my pom.xml. You can read all the versions of the various libraries in the complete pom.xml by clicking on this link. What do I need to change in the pom.xml or in the eclipse project to resolve this error?

Note: I can get rid of the error by changing the hibernate version in the pom.xml back to <hibernate.version>4.2.1.Final</hibernate.version>, but this defeats the purpose of upgrading. Does the fact that changing the hibernate version turns the error on and off help us to diagnose the problem?

If the problem is multiple jars conflicting with each other, I could use the eclipse type manager to disable one of the jars, but which jar would I look for?

Here is the complete stack trace:

I spent a lot of time on this.

For me, it was the javax.persistence.jar conflicting with hibernate jars.

I removed the persistence.jar and it started working.

If you are using Jboss 7.1.1, jboss already has hibernate-jpa-2.0 in its classpath, so during runtime it uses the one in its classpath, not the one you've deployed with your app. To point jboss to the version that you want (hibernate-jpa-2.1) do the following:

  1. copy hibernate-jpa-2.1-api-1.0.0.final.jar to the following directory : jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/modules/javax/persistence/api/main

  2. open module.xml and change the resource-root as follows : resource-root path="hibernate-jpa-2.1-api-1.0.0.final.jar" (pointing it to jpa 2.1)

  3. re-compile and re-deploy your app, then you are good to go.

In my case the culprit was javaee-api and glassfish libs that didn't support JPA 2.1

you can import hibernate-jpa-2.1-api-1.0.0.Final.jar. it is not ejb3-persistence.jar.

In case of JBoss7, you should replace the api jar in jboss7/modules/javax/persistence/api with updating module.xml file with the updated jar file.
