Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.Table.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index;

Question

The code run successfully if I remove @Table annotation from the code, and I have checked all the other questions relating this error but could not found any solution.

UserDetails.java

package org.javabrains.faisal.dto;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name="USER_DETAILS")
public class UserDetails {

    @Id
    private int userId;

    public Date getJoinDate() {
        return joinDate;
    }

    public void setJoinDate(Date joinDate) {
        this.joinDate = joinDate;
    }

    public String getAddress() {
        return address;
    }

    public void setAddress(String address) {
        this.address = address;
    }

    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }

    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }

    private String userName;

    private Date joinDate;

    private String address;

    private String description;

    public int getUserId() {
        return userId;
    }

    public void setUserId(int userId) {
        this.userId = userId;
    }

    public String getUserName() {
        return userName;
    }

    public void setUserName(String userName) {
        this.userName = userName;
    }

}

HibernateTest.java

package org.javabrain.faisal.hibernate;
import java.util.Date;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.javabrains.faisal.dto.UserDetails;

public class HibernateTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        UserDetails user=new UserDetails();

        user.setUserId(3);
        user.setUserName("Raza 3");

        user.setAddress("goplganj");
        user.setDescription("from Jamia and TCS");
        user.setJoinDate(new Date());

        SessionFactory sessionFactory= new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
        Session session =sessionFactory.openSession();

        session.beginTransaction();
        session.save(user);
        session.getTransaction().commit();



    }

You need to add hibernate-jpa-2.1-api-1.0.0.Final.jar to the classpath.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.1-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0.Final</version>
</dependency>

Table#indexes() method was added in the version 2.1. So you have an incorrect jar (for an example version 2.0) with the @Table annotation in the class path. It can be in the default lib folder of the application server or the web container.

Solution

An incorrect @Table annotation resides in the persistence-api-1.0.jar. So it is need to delete this jar from the class path. hibernate-jpa-2.1-api-1.0.0.Final.jar has all annotations which has persistence-api-1.0.jar.

I checked my libraries for the same but could not find the incorrect version. Also if that's the case then how can I get rid of it. – Md Faisal Feb 23 '16 at 10:41
@MdFaisal Is it possible to add above `HibernateTest` `@Table(indexes = {})` without errors? – v.ladynev Feb 23 '16 at 11:27
No, It says :-"The attribute indexes is undefined for the annotation type Table" – Md Faisal Feb 23 '16 at 12:46
@MdFaisal So you have an incorrect jar in the class path :) – v.ladynev Feb 23 '16 at 12:50

This worked for me... thanx , however inside hibernate-jpa-2.1-api jar still it uses javax.persistence . Therefore we have to remove it manuly form reference libraries in IDE, after removing from pom and build... Thanx again... – Kandy May 01 '17 at 17:22

Surely you have jpa2.0 jar in your server library. To check for that, you need to unzip all server jars (specially jee jar) and look for Table.class in a package called javax.persistence.
