Hi Team,

I am trying to use hibernate 4 and jpa 2.1 for connecting oracle database through weblogic JNDI in a standalone application and i face the below issue.

Request your help in resolving the issue.

Is it possible this version of WebLogic doesn't support the JPA 2.1 API ?

I am guessing WebLogic has JPA 2.0 classes somewhere in the classpath already which supersede the 2.1 jar you are including. I had the same problem with Resin. That error is definitely a method added in 2.1 since 2.0.

To fix this in Resin, I edited the j2ee.jar that came with Resin to remove the javax.persistence package.
