Hibernate - Error activating Bean Validation integ

I am trying to set up Hibernate. But when i try to create my Session Factory, with this code:

Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.configure();
serviceRegistry = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties()).buildServiceRegistry();        
sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);

I get the error:

I have the hibernate-validator and the bean validator in my class-path (see screenshot)

What could be the issues here?

Edit I had two additional validation-api on the classpath, but excluded them. Could they be a problem somehow. Maybe the scope=provided?

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
    <artifactId>gwt-user</artifactId>
    <version>${gwtVersion}</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
            <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.web.bindery</groupId>
    <artifactId>requestfactory-server</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.1</version>

            <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

Edit 2

Solved the problem: I had yet another bean validator jar in the class path. But not from maven, so i didn't realize it. Removing that solved the problem. Thanks a lot for the hints!

回答1:

NoSuchMethodError indicates that you have loaded wrong version of jar that has no method named like which you have used.
I highly recommend you to use hibernate 4.0 or little lower which turn out to be more stable to transplant.

回答2:

The problem arises from having similar packaged structure jar. In my case, I had javaee6 as provided, and javax.validation1.1.0.Final both have the package javax.validation.spi.

Since I used Maven, I placed javax.validation1.1.0 dependency on top of javaee6. So I can use 1.1.0 methods. Otherwise, if the javaee6 is on top I cannot access/ override validation1.1.0 methods.

It compiled fine, but while running in Tomee 1.7.5 WebProfile I faced NoSuchMethodError. So, added the javax.validation1.1.0 Final jar to lib folder of Tomee, but still somehow javaee6 jar's validation got triggered first.

So I renamed the file javax.validation1.1.0.Final to ijavax.validation1.1.0.Final, so that when alphabetically ordered it gets loaded before javaee6, then it worked!!
