here is servlet which throws exception

    package org.serv;

    import java.io.IOException;


   import javax.servlet.ServletException;
   import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
   import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
   import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
   import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

  import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
  import org.hibernate.Session;
   import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
 import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
 import org.pojo.PhoneBook;



 @WebServlet("/Controller")
public class Controller extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

/**
 * @see HttpServlet#HttpServlet()
 */
public Controller() {
    super();
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response )throws ServletException, IOException{

    doPost(request,response);
}


protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

PhoneBook book = new PhoneBook();
    book.setName(request.getParameter("name"));
    book.setPhone(Integer.parseInt( request.getParameter("number")));
    book.setAddress(request.getParameter("address"));
    try {
    SessionFactory sf = new Configuration().configure("/hibernate.cfg.xml").buildSessionFactory();
    Session sess = sf.openSession();
    sess.beginTransaction();
    sess.save(book);
    sess.close();
    }catch(HibernateException e ) {e.printStackTrace();System.err.println("Session problem ");}

}//end doPost

}//servlet

Here are library list which been listed.

I have been searched everywhere and also search stackover flow but didn't found solution.

did you look at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38407235/hibernate-error-java-lang-nosuchmethoderror looks like it could be the same issue (try to remove the hibernate-annotations...jar) — Axel M, Nov 02 '18 at 18:55
I already check that link but I don't have maven in my project. i pasted jar picture in above question and that looks ok .. but problem is still there. — Zubair CH, Nov 03 '18 at 19:22
yeah, you do not use maven, but you have the same dependecies in your project. (hibernate annotations and hibernate core) maybe it works if you remove hibernate-annotations, like it did in the other case — Axel M, Nov 04 '18 at 12:46
