Hibernate Exception - Initial SessionFactory creation failed.java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.Table.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index;

Question

I have tried to establish a hibernate connection with Postgresql, but I'm receiving an exception, as follow:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.Table.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index; at org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.EntityBinder.processComplementaryTableDefinitions(EntityBinder.java:973)

I saw another topic - (NoSuchMethodError in javax.persistence.Table.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index) - which explains that I may have two different versions of hibernate-jpa-api on the classpath.

Actually I had, but I fixed that problem and now apparently my classpath contains just one, as follow:

I still receiving the same exception, and I could not find any solution for it. See below my pom.xml, hibernate.cfg and hibernate connection class. If someone can help me, I'll appreciate it.

Hibernate.cfg.xml

Hibernate Class Connection

public class HibernateUtil {

    private static SessionFactory sessionFactory = buildSessionFactory();

    private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() {
        try {
            Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
            configuration.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");

            ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(
                    configuration.getProperties()).build();

            sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);

            return sessionFactory;
        }
        catch (Throwable ex) {
            System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I created another project with a new pom.xml, with just one hibernate-jpa-api dependency. Now it's working correctly.
