Spring-boot: Spring Boot 1.4.0 Hibernate dependency errors

[felipeg48]

Hi there!

I'm using Spring Boot 1.4.0.RELEASE, and I'm using a JPA dependency, nothing to complicated in my domain class. When I'm running the application, this is what I get:

I dig a little bit about this, and even though the class org.hibernate.HibernateException exists in the hibernate-core jar, it seems that other JAR include the same class.

So, Spring Boot 1.4.0.RELEASE declares the following jars:

hibernate-validator-5.2.4.Final.jar
hibernate-jpa-2.1.api-1.0.0.Final.jar
hibernate-commons-annotations-5.0.1.Final.jar
hibernate-entitymanager-5.0.9.Final.jar
hibernate-core-5.0.9.Final.jar

If I switch to the Spring Boot 1.3.7.RELEASE version, this version declares the following jars:

hibernate-validator-5.2.4.Final.jar
hibernate-jpa-2.1.api-1.0.0.Final.jar
hibernate-commons-annotations-4.0.5.Final.jar
hibernate-entitymanager-4.3.11.Final.jar
hibernate-core-4.3.11.Final.jar

and it runs successfully, without any issues.

Then I switched back to the version 1.4.0RELEASE but now specifying the hibernate dependencies, so my pom.xml is now including (the latest version 5.2.2.Final):

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.2.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.2.Final</version>
</dependency>

and it works again. So, it seems that some of the signatures of some classes changed between versions.

org.hibernate.HibernateException should be in hibernate-core-5.0.9.jar so I don't know why the ClassNotFoundException would be thrown. Is it possible that your maven cache is corrupt? Try deleting ~/.m2/repository then building the project again.

If that doesn't fix it could you please provide a sample that shows the problem.

Thanks Phil, that did the trick. I think this issue can be close now.

Thanks again
