Hibernate Search 6 with Hibernate 6

Question

I'm trying to setup Spring Boot 3.0.1 project from scratch using latest versions. So far I managed to get working mvc and repositories, but while adding Hibernate Search, things won't work anymore.

Below you can see my pom.xml file.

When I go to "Dependency Hierarchy" (Eclipse STS), I can find hibernate-core 5.6.11.Final embedded with hibernate-search-mapper-pojo-base 6.1.7.Final which is embedded into hibernate-search-mapper-orm 6.1.7.Final. Does it mean I have to manually exclude this one and include higher version? Also hibernate-core 5.6.11.Final has hibernate-commons-annotations 5.1.2.Final embedded. Why is it so complicated? Is there something I'm missing?

In the console log I get this:

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START

Description:

An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:

    org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.BasicValueBinder.resolveJavaType(BasicValueBinder.java:1002)

The following method did not exist:

    'java.lang.reflect.Type org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.ReflectionManager.toType(org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.XClass)'

The calling method's class, org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.BasicValueBinder, was loaded from the following location:

    jar:file:/C:/Users/Hrvoje/.m2/repository/org/hibernate/orm/hibernate-core/6.1.6.Final/hibernate-core-6.1.6.Final.jar!/org/hibernate/cfg/annotations/BasicValueBinder.class

The called method's class, org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.ReflectionManager, is available from the following locations:

    jar:file:/C:/Users/Hrvoje/.m2/repository/org/hibernate/common/hibernate-commons-annotations/5.1.2.Final/hibernate-commons-annotations-5.1.2.Final.jar!/org/hibernate/annotations/common/reflection/ReflectionManager.class

The called method's class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations:

    org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.ReflectionManager: file:/C:/Users/Hrvoje/.m2/repository/org/hibernate/common/hibernate-commons-annotations/5.1.2.Final/hibernate-commons-annotations-5.1.2.Final.jar


Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains compatible versions of the classes org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.BasicValueBinder and org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.ReflectionManager

Answer 1

Well, looks like the Internet is not ready for new versions of Hibernate 6 and Hibernate Search 6. To avoid this error, I had to remove dependency hibernate-search-mapper-orm and add this one: hibernate-search-mapper-orm-orm6.

When you search maven repository and enter "hibernate search orm", this one comes up as a 10th result which I didn't see because 2nd place already did not have search terms I wrote.

Looks like this one is to be used with Hibernate 6 and - at least for me - it was hard to find.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate.search</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-search-mapper-orm-orm6</artifactId>
    <version>6.1.7.Final</version>
</dependency>
