Hibernate "PreInsertEvent.getSource()" NoSuchMethodError.

Question

Hi

I'm recieving the following error when trying to do inserts:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError : org.hibernate.event.PreInsertEvent.getSource()Lorg/hibernate/event/EventSource;

I've seen other people with the same problem due to incompatibility in hibernate jars, but I believe I've got it right (according to the compatibility matrix)

Here's the relevant section from my pom.xml:

 <dependency>
  <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
  <version>3.4.0.GA</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
  <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations</artifactId>
  <version>3.3.0.ga</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
  <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
  <version>3.3.1.GA</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
  <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
  <version>3.1.0.GA</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
  <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
  <version>3.4.0.GA</version>
 </dependency>

Can anyone advise?

Regards

Marty

I found a solution, but I'm not sure it's correct -- anyone with a better, please advise:

Added a reference to cglib, and explicity excluded hibernate (was including 3.2)

 <dependencies>
 <dependency>
  <groupId>cglib</groupId>
  <artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
  <version>2.2</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
  <groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
  <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
  <version>2.3</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
  <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
  <version>3.4.0.GA</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
  <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations</artifactId>
  <version>3.3.0.ga</version>
  <exclusions>
   <exclusion>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate</artifactId>
   </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
  <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>

 <dependency>
