GeoServer database failure while creating a 'CoordinateReferenceSystem' object for code "EPSG:4326"

I received this error at my GeoServer 4.2.
and tried to reinstall it.
This is the error :

you can solve this problem by this url
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/advanced/crshandling/manualepsg.html
just remove the temp folder for geoserver

Remove the cached copy of the EPSG database, so that can be recreated. On Linux, the command is:
rm -rf /tmp/Geotools/Databases/HSQL
Restart GeoServer.

Load data from CSV to mySQL database Java+hibernate+spring

I am trying to load a CSV file in to mySQL database using Java+Hibernate+Spring. I am using the following query in the DAO to help me load in to the database:
entityManager.createQuery("LOAD DATA INFILE :fileName INTO TABLE test").setParameter("fileName", "C:\\samples\\test\\abcd.csv").executeUpdate();
I got some idea to use this from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/load-data.html and how to import a csv file into a mysql from an hibernate+spring application?
But I am getting the error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: node to traverse cannot be null!
Please help! Thanks
EDIT: Here is the stacktrace

Since, it's a native query.
Try: entityManager.createNativeQuery.
instead of: entityManager.createQuery.

Query query = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createSQLQuery("LOAD DATA INFILE :filename INTO TABLE TestTable FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (txn_amount,card_number,terminal_id)").setString("filename", "E:/amol.csv");
int rowCount = query.executeUpdate();

glassfish v3 deployment java.lang.InstantiationException

I am unsuccessfully trying to deploy a war file on glassfish. It consists of a Servlet Filter instantiating a Singleton class. Triggered by the constructor of the Singleton the connection to a web-service is established. I already checked the annotations of the web-service-client package which are pointed at in the error code.
I'd be very thankful for any ideas, hints.

When getting an exception, you should always look at the root cause of the exception to learn about the root cause of the problem. It's the bottommost part of the stacktrace.
In this particular case, it's the following (I emphasized the message):
Caused by: com.sun.xml.ws.model.RuntimeModelerException: A WebService annotation is not present on class: com.giuntilabs.target.ke.competence.ws.KECompetence
Is it correct what it is trying to tell you there? Yes? Fix it accordingly. Put the #WebService annotation on the mentioned class.

Spring/Hibernate: InvocationTargetException when deleting entity

I'm sorry if this question is a bit vague, but I'm quite confused.
I've got a controller that calls a service to delete an entity and then create an entity in its place. In the service, I've got my DAO, and my entity, and I want to delete my entity, so I call
DAO.delete(entity);
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, I get an InvocationTargetException. The parameters here are:
method: public org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView tld.myproject.view.web.controller.MyController.replaceEntity(org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile,javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)
target: tld.myproject.view.web.controller.MyController#185918e
args: [org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartFile#14812a6, org.springframework.web.multipart.support.DefaultMultipartHttpServletRequest#c08a64]
ex: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
and the place it fails is in the following Spring code
private Object doInvokeMethod(Method method, Object target, Object[] args) throws Exception {
ReflectionUtils.makeAccessible(method);
try {
return method.invoke(target, args);
}
catch (InvocationTargetException ex) {
ReflectionUtils.rethrowException(ex.getTargetException());
}
throw new IllegalStateException("Should never get here");
}
Does anyone have a suggestion to what's going on? Anything I can use in my debugging?
UPDATE:
Here's the stacktrace:

UPDATE 2: Well, this stacktrace didn't have the other failures, so stacktrace updated. Now, as you suggested, the answer becomes clear, there's another object with the same ID, and that is true. In my logic just before the delete, the following happens:
MyEntity instance = new MyEntity();
fillEntityFromRequest(instance, request);
MyEntity tmpInstance = myEntityService.read(instance.getId());
if(tmpInstance == null) myEntityService.create(instance);
else {
// Exists already, so force by deleting old entity first
myEntityService.delete(instance);
myEntityService.create(instance);
}
Is this what's causing there to be a second entity in the session? Because I don't think I've associated the new entity with the HibernateSession when I delete the old entity I'm replacing.
Cheers
Nik

The exception has to do with how hibernate stores objects in it's Session and where you've set your transaction boundaries. I'm assuming that the transaction boundary is around the code posted in "Update 2". When you ask hibernate to delete something, it doesn't execute the query right then. Rather, it queues up that query for execution the next time the Session is flushed to the database. Inserts are done the same way. This allows Hibernate to batch up similar queries for efficieny reasons.
Typically the session is flushed when the transaction is committed. The initial request for the object stores that object by id in the Hibernate session, and the delete marks that object for deletion when the 'delete' method is called. When you try to associate a new object with the same id, Hibernate doesn't know what to do at this point and throws an exception. It seems to me that there are two possibilities for how to handle your particular situation.
Explicitly flush the Session after the delete. You may also need to call 'evict' as well, I don't recall if flush() does this automatically or not.
Change the logic of your code to something like this:
MyEntity instance = myEntityService.read(instance.getId());
if (instance == null) {
instance = new MyEntity();
}
fillEntityFromRequest(instance, request);
myEntityService.save(instance); // calls saveOrUpdate() method
By updating the object returned from the 'read' method, you're updating the object that Hibernate already knows about. The 'saveOrUpdate' method knows how to perform either an UPDATE statement on the object or a new INSTANCE, based on whether the object in question is already in the Hibernate session.
