I am using Hibernate 3.6.8.Final as part of a project deployed in JBoss 4.3 and found the following stack trace issued during startup:

Caused by: org.hibernate.AnnotationException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.hibernate.validator.ClassValidator.<init>(java.lang.Class, java.util.ResourceBundle, org.hibernate.validator.MessageInterpolator, java.util.Map, org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.ReflectionManager)

        at org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(HibernatePersistence.java:73) ~[hibernate-entitymanager-3.6.8.Final.jar:3.6.8.Final]

My project is a self-contained WAR that does not rely on JBoss for persistence.

What can I do to fix it?

Turns out that all it needed was a bit of Hibernate magic dust. The persistence.xml needs to have the following Hibernate properties in place:

<property name="hibernate.validator.autoregister_listeners" value="false" />
<property name="hibernate.validator.apply_to_ddl" value="false" />

Hope this helps someone.

If anyone can explain why I'd appreciate it.
