I am new on spring. I have got the error below when following a tp. I am testing with Junit a connection to a mysql DB. I use the framework Hibernate to manage the connection.

The error

java.lang.AssertionError: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find class [org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence]
at org.junit.Assert.fail(Assert.java:91)

This is my junit test

public class TestJPA {
    @Test
    public void test() {
        try {
            ClassPathXmlApplicationContext app=new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] {"applicationContext.xml"} );
            assertTrue(true);
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            assertTrue(e.getMessage(),false);
        }

    }

        <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect"/>
    </properties>

Below, it is the configuration file applicationContext.xml.

I have tried some solutions proposed on this site without success. It generates other errors that I am unable to resolve.

E.g:The solution proposed here for a similar issue Spring Cannot find class [org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence] gives in the counterpart an issue like

nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/io/STAXEventReader.

When I try to solve this last by applying the solution proposed here Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.dom4j.io.STAXEventReader, I get the same error. So I am stucked.

  • btw: `assertTrue(e.getMessage(),false);` is `fail(e.getMessage());` and `assertTrue(true);` is a noop – giorgiga Feb 14 '18 at 23:00

Your Hibernate version is 5.1, so you need to change you provider class. In fact, best change the persistence header to version 2.1 as well.

<persistence version="2.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence" 
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">
    <persistence-unit name="UP_BOUTIQUE" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
    <provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>

As for the org/dom4j/io/STAXEventReader class, it fails to load, because it depends on many javax.xml.stream.* classes, but they're missing, because it's internal xml-apis dependency is too old. This is solved by explicitly stating this dependency version in the pom.xml.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
        <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
        <version>1.4.01</version>
    </dependency>

  • I have still have the same error after doing the modifications that you proposed. `java.lang.AssertionError: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/io/STAXEventReader at org.junit.Assert.fail(Assert.java:91)` – AaronLbk Feb 15 '18 at 11:36
  • Even with the xml-apis dependency set to 1.4.01? Strange. That solves it in my project. – coladict Feb 15 '18 at 13:55
