Hi,

I am new to hibernate and trying to use the @OneToOne annotation, but I am getting the following error during runtime:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.OneToOne.orphanRemoval()Z
at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationBinder.processElementAnnotations(AnnotationBinder.java:1641)
at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationBinder.processIdPropertiesIfNotAlready(AnnotationBinder.java:796)
at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationBinder.bindClass(AnnotationBinder.java:707)
at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration$MetadataSourceQueue.processAnnotatedClassesQueue(Configuration.java:4035)

at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.secondPassCompile(Configuration.java:1398)
at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:1856)

I am using hibernate-distribution-3.6.7.Final and jre 6.x.

Can anyone help me out in this ?

Regards
John

Hi,

I got the answer myself. The reason it was happening was because I had javax-persistence jar file added to the classpath along with the hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar
and it got into a conflict. Removing javax-persistence jar file solved it.

Maybe, it might help some novice like me.

Regards
John
