I have been working on trying to solve this error for about 3 hours. I have had to re-create this project about 6 times just to get to this point. I am following along the Spring tutorials over at caveofprogramming.com and cannot make it past this step.

Here is the error:

Nothing I have tried is getting me anywhere near working. Here is an album of pictures of the Deployment assembly, the dependencies I have and the class it says it cant find inside the dependencies.

  • Those tutorials seem to be severely out of date. Unless you have a specific compelling need to go with a legacy setup, use Spring Boot, and you can autogenerate a complete working project at https://start.spring.io (wizards are available in IntelliJ and STS). – chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- Apr 26 '17 at 02:16
  • @chrylis I am trying to build a Hibernate project, and this tutorial series takes a step by step approach to building a web MVC app using MySQL then eventually leads to replacing all the SQL functionality with Hibernate. I wanted to use these to learn how to get to the end goal of a Hibernate project. – The_fatness Apr 26 '17 at 02:25
  • Yes, but it's step-by-step *with completely outdated technology*. You can go to Spring Initializr, check "Web" and "Data JPA", and you're done. You don't even have to write JPA/Hibernate queries; Spring will do it for you. – chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- Apr 26 '17 at 02:46
  • That does seem semi-useful however, it doesn't provide the information needed to link to a local server or any information regarding the queries. I didn't realize the tutorials were so outdated, they are highly recommended on Reddit in the subs dedicated to learning. Everything worked up until the tomcat/web app stuff. – The_fatness Apr 26 '17 at 04:40

  • If you look at the pictures posted in the OP, it shows that this was already done as well and doesn't work. – The_fatness Apr 26 '17 at 02:14
