Can't deploy war because ClassCastException: org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider incompatible javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider

Question

I got this error even i have created a shared lib on was 9, this lib contains all the hibernate 5.4.3 dependency including javax.persistence 2.2

Answer 1

Do you really needs JPA 2.2 ? I was able to deploy my EAR under WAS 9 using hibernate 5.2.17 (starting from 5.3 hibernate is JPA 2.2 compliant) WAS 9 it seems compatible only with JPA 2.0 and JPA 2.1

I created the shared lib using following lists of jars

It is important on the Shared Lib def to check "Class Loading - Use an isolated class loader for this shared library"

and on the Applicatiion --> Class Loader --> Class Loader Order --> select Classes Loaded with Local Class Loader First (Parent Last)

I'm looking too to use up-to-date Hibernate 5.4.x (stable) and in the future the 6.x.. but having similar issue If eventually you was able to use Hibernate 5.4.x.. can you share ?
