Hibernate NoSuchMethodError for addPackage method

Question

i use Hibernate for connecting to my db and i configure my database in side of my dbConnector class:

public static SessionFactory connectingHibernate(){
    Properties database=new Properties(); 

    database.setProperty("hibernate.connection.driver_class",PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_DRIVER);
    database.setProperty("hibernate.connection.username",USERNAME);
    database.setProperty("hibernate.connection.password",PASSWORD);
    database.setProperty("hibernate.connection.url",url);
    database.setProperty("hibernate.dialect",DIALECT);

    Configuration cfg=new Configuration()
            .setProperties(database)
            .addPackage("androidapi.model")
            .addAnnotatedClass(User.class)
            .addAnnotatedClass(Product.class)
            .addAnnotatedClass(PriceProduct.class)
            .addAnnotatedClass(CoinPrice.class)
            .addAnnotatedClass(SellPage.class)
            .addAnnotatedClass(Setting.class)
            .addAnnotatedClass(Message.class);



    StandardServiceRegistryBuilder ssrb=new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder()
            .applySettings(cfg.getProperties());
    sessionFactory=cfg.buildSessionFactory(ssrb.build());
    return sessionFactory;
}

when i run my application from inside of my ide my code works correctly but after making war file with maven i got this exception on methods that use my db! how can i fix this?

exception:

  "error": "Internal Server Error",
  "exception": "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError",
  "message": "org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.addPackage(Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/hibernate/cfg/Configuration;",

after removeing this line: .addPackage("androidapi.model") i got this exception:

"exception": "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError",
  "message": "org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.addAnnotatedClass(Ljava/lang/Class;)Lorg/hibernate/cfg/Configuration;",
  "path": "/myinsta/admin_api/mGetAllUser"

my pom.xml Hibernate dependencies:

 <dependency>
        <groupId>mysql</groupId>
        <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
        <version>5.1.6</version>

solved! read answer and its good to know that you should use compatible version of hibernate that can find here at meaven part: Maven dependency

yes if i remove this line it cant find my db model classes like User & ... @v.ladynev — Mehdi Akbarian Rastaghi, Jul 19 '16 at 06:51
Side note (unrelated to the problem): Normally you would not want to use `LATEST` as it makes your builds nondeterministic. — raphaëλ, Jul 19 '16 at 07:05

You have multiple versions of hibernate on your classpath (at the time of this writing this: most likely 3.6.0.beta2 and at 5.2.1.Final)

Remove:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate</artifactId>
    <version>LATEST</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

This is pulling in an older version.

Funny, looks like, `hibernate` is an artifact id of an old version of Hibernate :) – v.ladynev Jul 19 '16 at 07:04

You don't need this line

addPackage("androidapi.model")

The method addPackage() doesn't scan a package. It is for reading "package-level metadata" (.package-info- files).

Looks like, you use Hibernate 5. You can't use Hibernate 4 configuration code with Hibernate 5

https://stackoverflow.com/a/32711654/3405171

If you want to scan packages

https://stackoverflow.com/a/35248061/3405171

To use a valid Hibernate version just check this page with Hibernate core versions:

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-core

and add it to the pom.xml (if you use Maven). For example for Hibernate 5.2.1.Final (It uses Java 8):

  <dependency>
   <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
   <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
   <version>5.2.1.Final</version>
  </dependency>

A dependency from hibernate-core is pretty enough, because of all other libraries will be loaded by Maven as transitive dependences. However, to use logger you need to add an additional dependency.

If you want to download an archive with all required jars, you can check the Hibernate download page:

http://hibernate.org/orm/downloads/

after removeing addpack() – Mehdi Akbarian Rastaghi Jul 19 '16 at 07:52
i removed all of my cached jar files and download all again – Mehdi Akbarian Rastaghi Jul 20 '16 at 08:57
@mehdiakbarian You need to fix your `pom.xml` – v.ladynev Jul 20 '16 at 09:01
thats the point! how?? my pom.xml works fine when i use my ide to run and debug but when i make war file its doesnt work idk how to fix it – Mehdi Akbarian Rastaghi Jul 20 '16 at 09:05
do you know about config xml file??i use xml instead of that methods and i got another error – Mehdi Akbarian Rastaghi Jul 20 '16 at 09:08
@mehdiakbarian Yes, I know. It will not help you, if you don't fix a previouse error. Because, that error means, that you have incompatible libraries in the classpath. – v.ladynev Jul 20 '16 at 11:03
yes you R right!can you share your telegram id? i need your help for compatible version – Mehdi Akbarian Rastaghi Jul 20 '16 at 11:05
@mehdiakbarian I don't have it. Just find a valid `pom.xml` for Hibernate. Use Hibernate 5.2 version, for an example. – v.ladynev Jul 20 '16 at 11:52
thank you i found compatible version please add this to your answer – Mehdi Akbarian Rastaghi Jul 20 '16 at 13:39
@mehdiakbarian You are welcome. Thank you for accepting. I update my answer. – v.ladynev Jul 20 '16 at 14:03
