Hibernate error in Spring boot initialized JPA application

Question

I use spring boot 1.5.8 to initialize a web application with JPA, however, it doesn't allow me to start the application. It shows the hibernate error. It is supposed the spring-boot-starter-data-jpa will install related dependencies but it seems not:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'entityManagerFactory' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactoryBuilder' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'entityManagerFactoryBuilder' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'jpaVendorAdapter' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaVendorAdapter]: Factory method 'jpaVendorAdapter' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/HibernateException

`class org.hibernate.HibernateException` should be present in `hibernate-core`, try checking your maven dependencies if it is there, if yes. Delete `~/.m2/reopsitory` and maven>update your project. It should renew your dependencies if those are corrupted. — Anil Bhaskar, Nov 13 '17 at 02:57

you didn't add one more dependency

<Dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId> <version>3.6.3.Final</version> </dependency>

The reason is the Version 1.5.8 has problem. Using the other versions of Spring boot initializer. I do not need to add or delete any dependency, and it works now:

change to

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

very nice solution. I had the same problem and switched at version 1.5.7 and there were no problems too. – Alessandro Argentieri Nov 14 '17 at 07:15
I am using a company parent so this wasn't an option, however this solution solved my problem on a related post. https://stackoverflow.com/a/43328124/2023810 – Brian Olsen Aug 27 '19 at 14:07

You forgot one dependency:

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

where X is the version of Hibernate.

Now you need to remove this dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>

Spring Boot will automatically try to create an entity factory for JPA, but you do not have defined anything regarding JPA models.

Now it has another error: `Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: At least one JPA metamodel must be present!`. I suppose the spring initializer should set up everything. – Thomas Nov 13 '17 at 02:54
I definitely need the JPA – Thomas Nov 13 '17 at 03:30

Delete your local repository then run Maven Update Project. It should be ok. Because your maven dependency was conflict.

Try with springBootVersion = '1.5.8.RELEASE'

I can find the org.hibernate.HibernateException class in hibernate-core-5.0.12.Final-sources.jar
