Question

I am trying to get my project to use MySQL with JPA. Each time I add the JPA dependency to mu pom.xml I get the following error.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.AbstractMethodError

Your getting the error because, you've classpath problem. Open you pom.xml with eclipe and go to dependency hierarchy and search for the version of hibernate.

There should be one version.

It worked! The conflict was caused by org.jadira.usertype usertype.core 3.1.0.CR1 – Nonami Dec 07 '17 at 09:38

By removing below a dependency, the issue was resolved

    <!-- <dependency>
       <groupId>org.jadira.usertype</groupId>
       <artifactId>usertype.core</artifactId>
       <version>4.0.0.GA</version>
    </dependency> -->

AbstractMethodError usually means that the classpath contains incompatible dependencies.

This is the issue all people majorly faced. Because some times we managed version in Parent pom and suddenly for some test scenario we will add direct dependency with a version that is incompatible with existing versions.

Reference is taken from:- https://github.com/spring-io/initializr/issues/633

We have got same type of error in hibernate spring mvc program. We later realized that two different versions of spring was there in library that was causing error. "AbstractMethodError" is rightly incompatible dependencies.
