I'm getting this exception after switching from Weblogic 11c to Weblogic 12c:

javax.persistence.PersistenceException: [PersistenceUnit: JpaPersistenceUnit] Unable to build EntityManagerFactory
...
Caused By: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.validation.spi.ConfigurationState.getParameterNameProvider()Ljavax/validation/ParameterNameProvider;
at org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ValidatorFactoryImpl.<init>(ValidatorFactoryImpl.java:113)
at org.hibernate.validator.HibernateValidator.buildValidatorFactory(HibernateValidator.java:45)

I've found other questions about the topics, but all solutions were about the wrong libraries(Vaadin 7 - Bean Validation). I think my hibernate-validator matches the bean validator library. This is what I have in WEB-INF/lib:

hibernate-c3p0-4.2.4.Final.jar
hibernate-commons-annotations-4.0.2.Final.jar
hibernate-core-4.2.4.Final.jar
hibernate-entitymanager-4.2.4.Final.jar
hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar
hibernate-validator-5.0.1.Final.jar
validation-api-1.1.0.Final.jar

Can it be caused by some other dependency?

EDIT I currently have this in my weblogic-application.xml and everything is working:

<weblogic-application>

    <prefer-application-packages>
      <package-name>javax.wsdl.*</package-name>
      <package-name>javax.faces.*</package-name>
      <package-name>org.apache.taglibs.*</package-name>
      <package-name>org.springframework.*</package-name>
      <package-name>javax.persistence.*</package-name>
      <package-name>org.hibernate.*</package-name>

      <package-name>javax.validation.spi.*</package-name>
      <package-name>org.slf4j.*</package-name>
    </prefer-application-packages>

    <prefer-application-resources>
      <resource-name>javax.faces.*</resource-name>
      <resource-name>org.apache.taglibs.*</resource-name>
      <resource-name>org.springframework.*</resource-name>
      <resource-name>javax.persistence.*</resource-name>
      <resource-name>javax.validation.*</resource-name>
      <resource-name>org.hibernate.*</resource-name>
    </prefer-application-resources>

</weblogic-application>

The java.lang.NoSuchMethodError is mainly caused by an invalid library version in your classpath. It seems the WebLogic 12c is using a different version of validation api from what your application expect. In order to force it to use the one in your WEB-INF/lib folder you have to specify it using prefer-web-inf-classes element in your weblogic.xml.

Here is more documentation about prefer-web-inf-classes
