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

Here is my dependency tree

Answer 1

In all probability you've got an outdated JBoss Logging JAR on the application's classpath. The ...f methods are a relatively new addition to the Logger API. Hibernate 5 directly depends on Logging version 3.3.0, but it is possible that somehwere in your pom.xml you have an overriding dependency to an earlier version. Another possibility is that you are deploying to a JBoss container where the logging API is container-provided. Then you may need to upgrade the JBoss server, or introduce a workaround to prefer classes contributed by your application.

Answer 2

In my case the issue was caused by an older version of jboss-logging coming as transitive dependency from hibernate-ehcache, which I found by looking into the maven dependencies tree. I solved it by adding the exclusion:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-ehcache</artifactId>
        <version>${hibernate.version}</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>org.jboss.logging</groupId>
                <artifactId>jboss-logging</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

Answer 3

JBoss 6.1+??

I set org.jboss.logging for jboss-logging-3.3.0.Final-redhat-1.jar in modules of jboss.

Its works for me.
