Hibernate validator error - 4.0.2.GA

Question

Hi, the validate function of the Hibernate Validator seems to be buggy (version hibernate-validator-4.0.2.GA.jar). Do I maybe miss a dependency?

Part of my stack trace:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.Persistence.getPersistenceUtil()Ljavax/persistence/PersistenceUtil;

Answer 1

I think it's due to the fact that it thinks you're using JPA2 but in fact you're using JPA1. Remove the jpa-api-2.0.Beta-20090815.jar which is included with the distribution of Hibernate Validator if you don't need it and try again.

Answer 2

jpa-api-2.0.Beta-20090815.jar is not there in my classpath. Still I get this exception.not sure why

Answer 3

Hi

Just now I found that there is a current dependency in java 6. Once i upgraded to java 6 all the errors above disappeared.
