Spring 4.3.0.RELEASE + Hibernate 5.2.0.Final + JPA Repository

Question

I have this Error while trying to work with Spring JPA:

Could not open JPA EntityManager for transaction; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.Session.getFlushMode()Lorg/hibernate/FlushMode;

** Update: Full Stack trace

It works in the same configuration in diffrent project

What could be the reason? I`m using Java 1.8 & Dynamic Web Application 3.1 (As the parallel project that works)

Answer 1

The module hibernate-entitymanager was removed in Hibernate 5.2.0 and the functionality was moved to hibernate-core. So you can just remove the hibernate-entitymanager dependency (and while you're on it, use the latest version 5.2.2):

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.2.Final</version>
</dependency>

If you still have the same error afterwards, it might be, that another dependency still depends on an older version of hibernate-entitymanager, which causes then conflicts. In this case, add the hibernate-entitymanager again with the newest version:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.2.Final</version>
</dependency>

Also since spring-data-jpa 1.10.2 depends on spring-orm 4.2.6, you should add the explicit dependency to spring-orm with the correct version:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

You use incompatible libs. The API has changed in hibernate 5:

FlushModeType getFlushMode()

For users of the Hibernate native APIs, we've had to rename this method as defined by Hibernate historically because the JPA contract defines a method of the same name, but returning the JPA FlushModeType rather than Hibernate's FlushMode.
