I am trying to deploy my project that I upgraded to Hibernate 3.5 but keep on getting the following error:

I am utilizing Hibernate 3.5, JPA 2.0 and Spring 3.0.1 within this project. IntelliJ Idea 9.0.x as my IDE and Weblogic 10.3.0 as my application server. I create a web application via a war file (no ear).

Please note that my junit tests that I run locally work fine. I used to get this error on the junit test (locally) until I put the WL 10.3.0 jar after my project lib jars in the dependencies. I figured that the same issue must be happening with the deploy (that the WL 10.3.0 packaged JPA support is being hit first before the newer versions of Hibernate/JPA), so went into my weblogic.xml file verified that I had the <prefer-web-inf-classes> is set to true and that I did have the needed jars included in the war (hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.0-CR-1.jar, hibernate3.jar, etc...).

Any help would be appreciated. Is there a setting or step that I am missing when deploying?

Thank you

I had the same problem, and I believe you are right about weblogic having it's own version of the JPA interfaces javax.persistence.*
I also tried forcing weblogic to use the newer version deployed within my application by adding the package in weblogic-application.xml :



By doing this I don't get the exception you mention anymore, but now I got a different one:

I think the issue is that weblogic is not ready to fully support JPA 2.0

We are getting exactly same error, and are stuck with this for past couple of days. It is kind of urgent. If you were able to resolve this, please share the pointers...

No progress yet. I even tried the same process with the new Hibernate (3.5.2) and the new Spring (3.0.2) and the same issue happens.

I am also facing the same problem. Has anyone found a solution for this?

Any updates on this problem?

I applied the PRE_CLASSPATH solution in my development environment and the EAR solution in production:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Dev ... A2_support

It's for EclipseLink but it works for Hibernate too.

I found that link in this forum: http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Dev ... A2_support

Hi,

I am using Weblogic version 10.3.5.0 and facing the same issue when using JPA 2.0 with Hibernate Provider.

Can anyone please suggest what is possible solution to this issue?

Thanks,
