Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find class [org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence]

I am new on spring. I have got the error below when following a tp.
I am testing with Junit a connection to a mysql DB. I use the framework Hibernate to manage the connection.
The error
java.lang.AssertionError: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find class [org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence]

I have tried some solutions proposed on this site without success. It generates other errors that I am unable to resolve.
E.g:The solution proposed here for a similar issue Spring Cannot find class [org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence] gives in the counterpart an issue like
nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/io/STAXEventReader.
When I try to solve this last by applying the solution proposed here Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.dom4j.io.STAXEventReader, I get the same error.
So I am stucked.

Your Hibernate version is 5.1, so you need to change you provider class. In fact, best change the persistence header to version 2.1 as well.
<persistence version="2.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="UP_BOUTIQUE" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
As for the org/dom4j/io/STAXEventReader class, it fails to load, because it depends on many javax.xml.stream.* classes, but they're missing, because it's internal xml-apis dependency is too old. This is solved by explicitly stating this dependency version in the pom.xml.
<dependency>
<groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
<artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
<version>1.4.01</version>
</dependency>

Database connections are not closing

I have been up-to resolving this issue for 2 days, have been through several posts, but remain unsuccessful to resolve this issue. Your usual support is required.
My connections to database are not closing which cause problem when the connections exceeds the defined connections pool size. My hibernate & spring not releasing the connection or using the single connections for transaction.

Spring + Hibernate : java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [hibernate.cfg.xml] cannot be resolved to URL because it does not exist

After searching over the internet for solutions, I still can't seem to fix this error. Initially my hibernate.cgf.xml, is in src/main/java/resources. I tried to move it around folders such as WEB-INF and META-INF but it still can't find the location.
Here's my pom.xml

EDIT: Thanks to Balwinder I was able to recheck my file location. It was indeed supposed to be in src/main/resources turns out I was filing it in src/test/resources.

Move your hibernate.cfg.xml to src/main/resources folder

A NoClassDef error is generally when you do have the class during compile time but it isn't present during runtime.
Please check your maven dependencies thoroughly for any jar conflicts. This might be a possible cause for the NoClassDef.
Check your pom.xml and navigate to the dependency hierarchy tab to verify if you do not see the same jar with different versions twice.
If you do have jar conflicts you would have to remove one of them based on your requirement of using the specific version
You can also check your dependency tree through command line.
E.G
mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=commons-collections
Here is the official Maven dependency plugin

You have

Your transactionManager bean needs the dataSource and entityManagerFactory beans, only available when the profile is default. In your web.xml you are not defining the profile to use.
Add the following:
<context-param>
<param-name>spring.profiles.active</param-name>
<param-value>default</param-value>
</context-param>
Note: Not very sure if your transactionManager bean really needs the dataSource since it has been injected into entityManagerFactory. For example I have the following through Java Config.
#Bean
public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager(EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory){
JpaTransactionManager transactionManager = new JpaTransactionManager();
transactionManager.setEntityManagerFactory(entityManagerFactory);
return transactionManager;
}

Getting a 406 for oxm jaxb2 spring service. Marshalling requestbody works, returning responsebody does not

I've boiled this down to the simplest example I can. I'm using Poster and adding the header "Content-Type" as "application/xml". Without that I get the 415 error and don't even get into the controller, with it I get into the controller and die before I bind my response, so the system.err.println executes and then it bails. With the content-type set I get a 406 error (but still get into my controller).
Controller:
package test.test.test;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
#Controller
public class HomeController {
#Autowired
#RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
#ResponseBody
public TestResponse getTest(#RequestBody TestRequest testRequest) {
System.err.println("testRequest: " + testRequest.getTestData());
TestResponse t= new TestResponse();
t.setResponseData("stuff");
return t;
}
}
Request:
package test.test.test;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
#XmlRootElement
public class TestRequest implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -4928814568645262069L;
private String testData;
#XmlElement
public String getTestData() {
return testData;
}
public void setTestData(String testData) {
this.testData = testData;
}
}
Respnse:
package test.test.test;
import java.io.Serializable;
#XmlRootElement
public class TestResponse implements Serializable {
/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 2007976182805052992L;
private String responseData="test";
#XmlElement
public String getResponseData() {
return responseData;
}
public void setResponseData(String responseData) {
this.responseData = responseData;
}
}

You'll need to add an Accept header with value application/xml to your client request.
A 406 status code means that the server deemed the content it's preparing to be unacceptable for your client.
