while connection to hibernate connection I am getting such type of error.

Answer 1

Copied the answer from here. In my case, there was conflict between following depdencies :

1. Hibernate Annotations :

   <dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
    <version>3.5.6-Final</version>
   </dependency>
   

2. Hibernate Commons Annotations :

   <dependency>
     <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
     <artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations</artifactId>
     <version>3.2.0.Final</version>
   </dependency>
   

I resolved the conflict by removing both the dependencies and using following one :

Hibernate Commons Annotations » 5.0.1.Final

     <dependency>
      <groupId>org.hibernate.common</groupId>
      <artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations</artifactId>
      <version>5.0.1.Final</version>
     </dependency>

Hope this might help someone.
