I am getting an error with a oneToMany association when using annotations with gilead for hibernate through gwt

Question

Hello Guys

I'm using Gilead to persist my entities in my GWT project, im using hibernate annotations aswell. my problem is on my onetomany association.this is my User class that holds a reference to a list of FileLocations

@Entity
@Table(name = "yf_user_table")
public class YFUser implements Serializable {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
@Column(name = "user_id",nullable = false)
private int userId;
@Column(name = "username")
private String username;
@Column(name = "password")
private String password;
@Column(name = "email")
private String email;

@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.LAZY) @JoinColumn(name="USER_ID") private List fileLocations = new ArrayList();

This is my file location class

@Entity
@Table(name = "fileLocationTable")
public class FileLocation implements Serializable {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
@Column(name = "locationId", updatable = false, nullable = false)
private int ieId;
@Column (name = "location")
private String location;

@ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY) @JoinColumn(name="USER_ID", nullable=false) private YFUser uploadedUser;

When i persist this data in a normal desktop application, it works fine , creates the tables and i can add and store data to it. but when i try to persist the data in my gwt application i get errors i will show them lower. this is my ServiceImpl class that extends PersistentRemoteService.

public class TestServiceImpl extends PersistentRemoteService implements TestService {

public static final String SESSION_USER = "UserWithinSession";

public TestServiceImpl(){

    HibernateUtil util = new HibernateUtil();
        util.setSessionFactory(com.example.server.HibernateUtil
                .getSessionFactory());

    PersistentBeanManager pbm = new PersistentBeanManager();
    pbm.setPersistenceUtil(util);
    pbm.setProxyStore(new StatelessProxyStore());

    setBeanManager(pbm);
}

    @Override
public String registerUser(String username, String password, String email) {
    Session session = com.example.server.HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
    session.beginTransaction();

    YFUser newUser = new YFUser();
    newUser.setUsername(username);newUser.setPassword(password);newUser.setEmail(email);

    session.save(newUser);
    session.getTransaction().commit();

    return "Thank you For registering "+ username;

}

this is the error that im am getting. the error goes away when i remove my onetoManyRelationship and builds my session factory when i put it in , it on the line of buildsessionfactory in hibernate Util that it throws this exception. my hibernate util class is ok also. this is the error java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.OneToMany.orphanRemoval()Z

Answer 1

use javax.persistence api 2.0, but not 1.0 one

Answer 2

Deleting ejb3-persistance.jar and removing it from build path solved my problem, it may work for you too.

Also don't forget to add hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.0.Final.jar to your build path.

Answer 3

Using hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.0.Final.jar in place of ejb3-persistance.jar worked great for me thanks

Answer 4

Just adding a comment to possibly help others facing this. It could also be that your application server provides a version of JPA that "overshadows" the hibernate version. For me I had to do something like this:

mkdir /usr/local/resin/libremoved
mv /usr/local/resin/lib/jpa* /usr/local/resin/libremoved/

Answer 5

Also if you're compiling with a "complete" Java EE API library (e.g. one that contains both JPA and other APIs such as Servlet etc) then make sure the complete library is further down the classpath than the specific JPA 2.0 library

Answer 6

It also worked for me .. Thank you very much. I have solved my 2 days mystery
