Can't configure JPA with Intellij

Question

Im trying to configure a simple JPA project and I'm very stuck.

I have a working dataSource (MySQL) & GlassFish with multiple tables.

I did the following steps (all of the files generated by Intellij):

1. Create new project with Java EE Persistance with Hibernate Provider.

2. Import DB that has a Student table.

3. Generate Entity classes with Intellij IDE.

4. Import Hibernate-entitymanager library from Maven.

5. Import MySQL connector.

6. Try to run a simple JPA program to create new row but I get an exeption :

   No Persistence provider for EntityManager named persistenceUnit

What can be the problem? I tried almost every tutorial and every question here but with no success!

Please Help me!

(sometimes the Hibernate in the persistance provider is colored red)

persistance:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" version="2.0">

    <persistence-unit name="NewPersistenceUnit">
        <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
        <class>modules.CourseEntity</class>
        <class>modules.StuCouEntity</class>
        <class>modules.StudentsEntity</class>
        <class>modules.TeacherEntity</class>
        <properties>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306"/>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="root"/>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="123456"/>
            <property name="hibernate.archive.autodetection" value="class"/>
            <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
            <property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true"/>
            <property name="hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/>
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Main.java:

import modules.StudentsEntity;

import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
import javax.persistence.Persistence;
public class MainClass
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        StudentsEntity stu = new StudentsEntity();
        stu.setName("David");

        EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("persistenceUnit");
        EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();

        em.getTransaction().begin();
        try
        {
            em.persist(stu);
            em.getTransaction().commit();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
            ex.printStackTrace();
            em.getTransaction().rollback();
        }
        finally
        {
            em.close();
        }



    }
}

Answer 1

You defined

<persistence-unit name="NewPersistenceUnit">

while tryng to call Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("persistenceUnit");

change NewPersistenceUnit to persistenceUnit
