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

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>

The fully qualified name of the bean's class, except if it serves only as a parent definition for child bean definitions

I have tried a lot but could not found any solution to this error, can any one see what is wrong with this?

OK there is one big mistake in your pom.xml, change :
<org.springframework-version>3.1.1.RELEASE</org.springframework-version>
to
<org.springframework-version>4.1.6.RELEASE</org.springframework-version>
I have noticed this important thing here Configuring Apache Tiles 3 and Spring 4 MVC you can download sample project and get in touch with it.
Hope It would work for you!

You are using Apache-Tiles version 3.0.3 but the org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesConfigurer is available from Spring 3.2.
See the Spring documentation here.
To get around this issue you could either use:
org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesConfigurer
or upgrade your Spring version to 3.2 or above.

Since Hibernate 4.3.x, the JtaPlatform class is refactored to a new package.
You should either:
downgrade Hibernate to 4.2.x or older
upgrade the Spring framework.
You should upgrade Spring as it seems you're grabbing version 3.1.1-release for spring-orm and spring-jdbc.
From : https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-10839
Spring Framework 3.2.3+ fully supports Hibernate 4.0 to 4.2.x in its orm.hibernate4 package.
Spring Framework 4.0.1+ fully supports Hibernate 4.0 to 4.3.x in its orm.hibernate4 package.

response code 500 when returning an object using #ResponseBody

I'm fairly new to spring Restful programming The requirement to use the controller method as a rest service, so I'm trying to return an object in a JSON format, but for some reason I'm getting a response code as 500 with no errors and exceptions in log files.
But it is successfully working if I the return type is of a string rather an object
I'm using the jackson dependencies and I'm configuring in context file and in a assumption that converts the object to json format and puts in the response body on using #ResponseBody annotation
//Response code 500 If I return an object
#RequestMapping(value = "/donorSummary", method = RequestMethod.GET,produces = "application/json")
#PreAuthorize("hasRole('"+PermissionConstants.VIEW_DONOR+"')")
public #ResponseBody Donor donorSummaryGenerator(HttpServletRequest request, Model model,HttpServletResponse response,
#RequestParam(value = "donorId", required = false) Long donorId) {
//some code here
return donorObject;
}
//Working if I return a string
#RequestMapping(value = "/donorSummary", method = RequestMethod.GET,produces = "application/json")
#PreAuthorize("hasRole('"+PermissionConstants.VIEW_DONOR+"')")
public #ResponseBody StringdonorSummaryGenerator(HttpServletRequest request, Model model,HttpServletResponse response,
#RequestParam(value = "donorId", required = false) Long donorId) {
//some oode here
return donorObject.toString();
}

Spring MVC converts data to/from JSON (and other formats, e.g. XML) using message converters (implementations of the HttpMessageConverter interface).
The <mvc:annotation-driven /> tag in your Spring configuration registers the JSON message converter (among other things that it is doing). The only other thing that you need to do to start using JSON in your web services is placing Jackson libraries on your classpath (you said that you have them already):
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
<version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
Now, you also have some manual configuration for your JSON message converter:
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerAdapter">
<property name="messageConverters">
<list>
<ref bean="jsonMessageConverter"/>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="jsonMessageConverter" class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
</bean>
It is, probably, unnecessary. Try to remove it. The <mvc:annotation-driven /> tag is all you need to register the JSON message converter.

Http Status code 500 is for internal server error.If you are creating a rest web service why don't you return valid internet media type like JSON , XML or YAML. You can use jackson library to map your 'Donor' reference to json/xml and then return it from the server. At the client end you can again map the json/xml to Donor reference using jackson library.

Try this way:
Controller:
#Controller
#RequestMapping(value = "/testshare/service/location", produces = "application/json", consumes = "application/json")
public class LocationController {
#Autowired
private IStaticContentService staticContentService;
/**
* Service method to retrieve all <b>Locations</b> detail.
*
* #return response LocationResponse
* #throws ApplicationException
*/
#RequestMapping(value = "/getAllLocations", produces = "application/json", method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = "application/json")
#ResponseBody
public LocationResponse loadAllLocations(#RequestBody BaseRequest request) {
LocationResponse response;
try {
response = staticContentService.getAllLocation();
response.header = ResponseBuilder.buildHeader(true);
} catch (ApplicationException e) {
response = ResponseBuilder.buildError(e, new LocationResponse());
} catch (RuntimeApplicationException e) {
response = ResponseBuilder.buildResponse(e, new LocationResponse());
} catch (Exception e) {
response = ResponseBuilder.buildResponse(e, new LocationResponse());
}
return response;
}
}
BaseRequest class:
import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonProperty;
public class BaseRequest {
#JsonProperty("header")
public Header header;
}
In your spring configuration:
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver">
<property name="order" value="1" />
<property name="mediaTypes">
<map>
<entry key="json" value="application/json" />
<entry key="file" value="multipart/form-data" />
</map>
</property>
<property name="defaultViews">
<list>
<!-- JSON View -->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView" />
</list>
</property>
</bean>

I have this checked with spring version 3.2.2.RELEASE.Should work for higher spring version as well

Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory

I am trying to run a dbtest but I get the following error :
"Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:
Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class
path resource [root-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed;
nested exception is java.lang.AbstractMethodError:
org.springframework.orm.jpa.persistenceunit.SpringPersistenceUnitInfo.getValidationMode()Ljavax/persistence/ValidationMode;"
And because of that I also get the following error:
"Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:
Error creating bean with name 'personRepository' defined in class path
resource [root-context.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested
exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:

path resource [root-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed;
nested exception is java.lang.AbstractMethodError:
org.springframework.orm.jpa.persistenceunit.SpringPersistenceUnitInfo.getValidationMode()Ljavax/persistence/ValidationMode;
So we have to take alook at my root-context file and it look the following :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
<!-- Root Context: defines shared resources visible to all other web components
<bean id="personService" class="se.lowdin.civilforsvaret.webapp.services.PersonServiceImpl" />
-->
<bean id="personRepository" class="se.lowdin.civilforsvaret.webapp.repositories.PersonRepositoryJpa" />
<!-- Database -->
<bean id="datasource"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/civilforsvaret11" />
<property name="username" value="bla" />
<property name="password" value="bla" />
</bean>
<!-- Entity Manager -->
<bean id="entityManagerFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="datasource" />
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="civilforsvaret" />
</bean>
<!-- Transaction Manager -->
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
</bean>
</beans>
And the persisence.xml looks the following :
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"

<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect" />
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop" />
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
And this is my pom.xml file :

I am a complete noob with Spring MVC and cant find the problem.

This sounds like a ClassLoader conflict. I'd bet you have the javax.persistence api 1.x on the classpath somewhere, whereas Spring is trying to access ValidationMode, which was only introduced in JPA 2.0.
Since you use Maven, do mvn dependency:tree, find the artifact:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>persistence-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
And remove it from your setup. (See Excluding Dependencies)
AFAIK there is no such general distribution for JPA 2, but you can use this Hibernate-specific version:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.0-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1.Final</version>
</dependency>
OK, since that doesn't work, you still seem to have some JPA-1 version in there somewhere.
In a test method, add this code:
System.out.println(EntityManager.class.getProtectionDomain()
.getCodeSource()
.getLocation());
See where that points you and get rid of that artifact.
Ahh, now I finally see the problem. Get rid of this:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-jpa</artifactId>
<version>2.0.8</version>
</dependency>
and replace it with
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
<version>3.2.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
On a different note, you should set all test libraries (spring-test, easymock etc.) to
<scope>test</scope>

Adding dependencies didn't fix the issue at my end.
The issue was happening at my end because of "additional" fields that are part of the "#Entity" class and don't exist in the database.
I removed the additional fields from the #Entity class and it worked.
