"No Persistence Unit Found" error

Question

I am getting the following error:

Here is my persistence.xml file:

            <bean class="org.springframework.instrument.classloading.InstrumentationLoadTimeWeaver" />
        </property>
    </bean>

</beans>

The persistence.xml is located in src/META-INF, which is in the build path, so it should be found properly. Anyone have any ideas?

Christofer Dutz · Accepted Answer

Well I usually place the persistence.xml in a resources folder /src/main/resouces/META-INF/persistence.xml because I do remember problems in the build not copying the resources to the output-directory.

I just had a look at our configuration and it looks a little different:

<!--
    - Drives transactions using local JPA APIs
-->
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
    <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory"/>
</bean>

<tx:annotation-driven mode="aspectj" proxy-target-class="true" />

<!--
    Custom PersistenceUnitManager, that reads all persistence.xml files in the
    classpath and merges them to one single virtual persistence.xml.

    In order to operate properly, all persistence.xml have to define the same
    persistence unit name.
-->
<bean id="persistenceUnitManager" class="de.cware.cweb.jpa.MergingPersistenceUnitManager">
    <property name="persistenceXmlLocations">
        <list>
            <value>classpath*:META-INF/persistence.xml</value>
        </list>
    </property>
    <property name="defaultDataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
</bean>

<bean id="jpaTemplate" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTemplate">
    <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory"/>
</bean>

<!--

</bean>

Hope this helps :-)

keep your persistence.xml in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml
remove hibernate conflicting libraries....
remove hibernate - 3.2.0 jar if hibernate core is there
