Tomcat doesn't connect to db Error Status 500 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Question

When I try to connect to the db I get a 500 error and closes my eclipse/tomcat. Does anyone know how could I fix it?

Your persistence file use the JPA schema for the 2.1 version :

<persistence xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence
             http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd"
             version="2.1">

so you should use a matching hibernate version : min Hibernate 4.3.X. I guess that you use Hibernate because of it in your persistence.xml

<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />

So if you want use JPA as interface, you should add this dependency in your pom.xml :

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

This dependency includes hibernate-jpa-2.1-api which contains the class javax.persistence.Persistence

else if you want to use Hibernate directly without JPA as interface, you could use this dependency (or + 4.3.X):

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

More details here : http://hibernate.org/orm/downloads/

Well oke but adding JPA to my project doesn't make my error go away. This project is for my examens wich are coming up but here i dont need to use JPA just like i did it is enough normally. I have projects with JPA & Hibernate as well. My question stays the same. How could i fix the mistake? and get my project running? — Dylan Gomes, Aug 17 '16 at 08:33
Have you tried by adding the hibernate-entitymanager dependency ? I have made a typo — davidxxx, Aug 17 '16 at 09:52
yeah i got this problem solved but got a new one with mapping i made a post of that as well if you could help with that one it would be great:$ — Dylan Gomes, Aug 17 '16 at 09:55

You have to add the javax.persistence-api.jar as a dependency:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.persistence/persistence-api -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>persistence-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.2</version>
</dependency>

I think you also need to add a JPA provider e.g. Hibernate or EclipseLink – Scary Wombat Aug 17 '16 at 08:15
Solved that now i have this mistake No resource files named META-INF/services/javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider were found. Please make sure that the persistence provider jar file is in your classpath. – Dylan Gomes Aug 17 '16 at 08:16
