Hibernate 5 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError org.jboss.

Question

I have a problem when I deploy a webapp with hibernate 5

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.logging.Logger.debugf(Ljava/lang/String;I)V

With Hibernate 4 everything is OK.

I had a look at the class NamedQueryRepository at line 149. That class is calling the method debugf in this way

        log.debugf( "Checking %s named HQL queries", namedQueryDefinitionMap.size() );

I can not see the problem

Answer 1

I had the same error, it is solved by First add the dependency of jboss logging jar as follows

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.jboss.logging/jboss-logging -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.logging</groupId>
    <artifactId>jboss-logging</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.0.Final</version>
</dependency>

And if the error still exists then add following exlcusion to the maven dependency.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.ext</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-spring3</artifactId>
    <version>2.12</version>
     <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.glassfish.hk2</groupId>
                    <artifactId>hk2</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
</dependency>

After doing these two things, it is working fine for me.I hope it will work for you also.

Answer 2

You can use Eclipse to find out which jar is causing the problem:

• Setup a project with all your jars on the classpath
• Navigate -> Open Type...
• Type in org.jboss.logging.Logger

This will give you a list of jars which include the class. One of these is out of date and needs to be excluded (refer to other answers for variations on this).

Answer 3

I was getting the same error using jersey-spring-3 and hibernate 5.0.1.Final.Excluding org.glassfish.hk2.external:bean-validator from jersy-spring-3 and adding org.glassfish.jersey.ext:jersey-bean-validation worked for me.Here is my final dependency.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.ext</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-spring3</artifactId>
    <version>2.22.2</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.hk2.external</groupId>
            <artifactId>bean-validator</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.ext</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-bean-validation</artifactId>
    <version>2.22.2</version>
</dependency>

from :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.ext</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-spring3</artifactId>
    <version>2.22.2</version>
</dependency>

Answer 4

Error that i got was "

Application run failed: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.logging.Logger.debugf(Ljava/lang/String;I)V

:::
:::
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.logging.Logger.debugf(Ljava/lang/String;I)V"

i deleted the jboss-logging folder <.m2\repository\org\jboss\logging\jboss-logging> and restarted the jboss server.

The jars got addedback and the error was gone. (i got some other error after that, but atleast this error was gone)

Answer 5

In glass fish This problem is caused by collision with dependencies of glassfish modules. If you check lib list in glassfishdir/modules you would see boss-logging.jar. You can delete it and replace with latest such as org.jboss.logging:jboss-logging:jar:3.3.0.Final. It worked for me.

Answer 6

In my case the culprit was the Jersey bean validator artifact. One of its dependencies, bean-validation-2.4.0-b06.jar contains Jboss logging classes, for some reason. I had to exclude the jersey-bean-validation and bean-validator artifacts from the spring-boot-starter-jersey dependency:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jersey</artifactId>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <artifactId>jersey-bean-validation</artifactId>
                <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.ext</groupId>
            </exclusion>
            <exclusion>
                <artifactId>bean-validator</artifactId>
                <groupId>org.glassfish.hk2.external</groupId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

EDIT: As of spring-boot 1.3.0, this is fixed and the exclusions above are not necessary anymore.
