Edit 1 : Same application is running fine on Tomcat 9 but giving above exception while deploying on Tomcat 8
Edit 2 : After doing some research I found out that Tomcat 8 is loading PersistenceContext class from annotations-api.jar located in TOMCAT_HOME\lib folder instead of javax.persistence-api-2.2.jar and PersistenceContext class available in annotations-api.jar does not contain synchronization method as follows.
package javax.persistence;
import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;
#Target({ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.FIELD})
#Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public #interface PersistenceContext {
String name() default "";
String unitName() default "";
PersistenceContextType type() default PersistenceContextType.TRANSACTION;
PersistenceProperty[] properties() default {};
}
How to give preference in Tomcat 8 such that Tomcat 8 will load PersistenceContext class from javax.persistence-api-2.2.jar instead of annotations-api.jar

may be you are having conflicts in your spring data dependency version One is vesion1 (or replication of two same jar you can say)another is version2 Please remove older version dependency either version one or version two from pom.xml or from build path jar
OR
may be there is no Spring data jar or dependency over there please kindly add it.

org.hibernate.javax.persistence:hibernate-jpa-2.0-api:1.0.1.Finals delivers an OLD version of javax.persistance that lack of that API PersitanceContext().synchronization()
Solution: add java.persistence:javax.persistence-api:2.2 BEFORE hibernate-jpa-2.0-api in the pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.persistence-api</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.0-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1.Final</version>
</dependency>
No idea about gradle, but at least you can try.

I see PersistenceContext.class with the synchronization() method in javax.persistence-api-2.2.jar. It looks like Apache has removed PersistenceContext (along with other classes) from annotations-api.jar as of Tomcat 7 which means it can't be loading this class from the Tomcat provided jar. Perhaps you have a another jar in your application that has an old version of PersistenceContext in it?

With reference to Spring Docs
http://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/3.2.0.RC2/api/org/springframework/web/context/request/async/CallableProcessingInterceptor.html
Intercepts concurrent request handling, where the concurrent result is obtained by executing a Callable on behalf of the application with an AsyncTaskExecutor.
A CallableProcessingInterceptor is invoked before and after the invocation of the Callable task in the asynchronous thread, as well as on timeout from a container thread, or after completing for any reason including a timeout or network error.
As a general rule exceptions raised by interceptor methods will cause async processing to resume by dispatching back to the container and using the Exception instance as the concurrent result. Such exceptions will then be processed through the HandlerExceptionResolver mechanism.
The afterTimeout method can select a value to be used to resume processing.
Can anyone please explain and help me out of this.

Trace clearly shows, your application is not able to find CallableProcessingInterceptor class. Edit your pom with below dependency and check if it is working:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

I have just verified. On a Spring 3.2.8 release, org/springframework/web/context/request/async/CallableProcessingInterceptor lies in spring-web-3.2.8.jar.
The error is :
...exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/web/context/request/async/CallableProcessingInterceptor
That proves that at run time spring-web.jar is not in classpath, or is not same version as other spring jars. A common cause for that when not using maven, is to declare the jars to the compiler or IDE, not include them in WEB-INF/lib in the war, and not to have them in Tomcat's classpath.
As you do not use maven, it looks like you are in a build and dependencies hell (name is mine). Either tomcat finds other jars (typically other versions of spring) in its classpath, or your build does not include (for any reason) spring-web-version.jar for correct version. This may be hard to fix, but you can try :
control is nothing looks wrong in your build process
control if the deployed application holds proper jars with proper version
strip down the application to remove parts until it works and re-add them one at a time in order to identify exactly what triggers the error
Or if you can do it, convert your application to use maven, and it will deal almost automatically with all those dependencies for you, warning you of incompatible versions.
But I'm afraid that I cannot do more for you here ...

This exception is caused due to Spring dependent jars missing or having conflict between versions of jars
Check whether you have spring-web-X.X.X (X.X.X is the required version depending on project) jar available on your build path/Maven dependency.
If there is any duplicate jar you need to remove it.

Spring Webapp with Hibernate, Annotation Driven, Issue after Issue, Source Code Link

I am working on a Spring webapp using annotations and Hibernate. One of the goals here is that the application be annotation driven (instead of XML) for all elements of the stack, which right now is just spring and hibernate. Every solution from this and other questions I asked here about this code leads to a whack a mole style conflagration of issues, but this cant be that hard. Please try this code! It's much easier than us all going through a point by point exposition of stack traces.
A Github link is included, just git clone, maven clean package, and deploy to a suitable server such as Jetty, you can see all these traces in action.
Here is how this started: when firing up a webapp I got the following no class def found error:
java.lang.noclassdeffounderror L[org.hibernate.engine.FilterDefinition
I am using Hibernate 4.3.4
<hibernate.version>4.3.4.Final</hibernate.version>
and am using the core jar
<!-- Hibernate -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
<version>${hibernate.version}</version>
</dependency>
Here was the trace

Now searching maven central, I see that class is in Hibernate 3.1, so now I've added that to my pom

</dependency>
<dependency>

Along with the following required repository (which was a undocumented requirement, GROWL)
<repositories>
<repository>

Since there is a lot going on here, and Stack traces get long, please, I ask you to try this code for yourself when looking at a possible solution. The code is simple, self contained, and only requires maven and a suitable server.
https://github.com/mobiusinversion/SpringMVCWebApp
Help getting this working would be greatly appreciated. It just seems like every solution to ever stack trace leads to another in whack a mole fashion. Lets recap what we are try to do here:
Annotation based spring bean configuration
Annotation based hibernate configuration
Should be simple, right?
[UPDATE 4/4/14 4pm] The issue is now a HibernateException casue by no session bound to thread:

After incorporating several good pieces of advice, here is the session bean construction in the spring config:
#Bean
public LocalSessionFactoryBean getSessionFactory() {
LocalSessionFactoryBean localSessionFactoryBean = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();
localSessionFactoryBean.setDataSource(getDataSource());
localSessionFactoryBean.setHibernateProperties(getHibernateProperties());
localSessionFactoryBean.setPackagesToScan("com.mobiusinversion.web");
return localSessionFactoryBean;
}
And here is where the error occurs.
#Transactional
#Repository
public class UserRepository {
#Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public Integer createUser(User user) {
User mergedUser = (User) sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().merge(user);
return mergedUser.getId();
}
}

Based on this command line overlapping jars report (a tool I made), there are two hibernate versions in WEB-INF/lib of the WAR:
>>>> Jar overlap report:
hibernate-3.1.jar overlaps with hibernate-core-4.3.4.Final.jar -
total overlapping classes: 494
jboss-transaction-api_1.2_spec-1.0.0.Final.jar overlaps with jta-1.0.1B.jar -
total overlapping classes: 17
Total number of classes with more than one version: 511
Looking further in the POM with mvn dependency:tree we can see where the duplicates come from:
[INFO] +- org.hibernate:hibernate-core:jar:4.3.4.Final:compile
...
[INFO] +- org.hibernate:hibernate:jar:3.1:compile
In this case there are two versions of hibernate added in the classpath, as hibernate is declared twice with different artifact names. The solution for this is to choose only one version of Hibernate, removing the other from the POM. The best would be to choose 4.3.4.Final because 3.1 is very ancient.

java.lang.noclassdeffounderror L[org.hibernate.engine.FilterDefinition is most likely because hibernate jar is missing from your classpath. Typically this happen if you forget to declare hibernate dependency on your maven pom.
To be able to inject HibernateSession, one simple way is to create LocalSessionFactoryBean and autowire it to your class.
However some java container already has its own HibernateSessionFactory and this method might not be suitable.

Maybe you have 2 different jars of Hibernate
Or you have to configure the servlet container in order to use the web app classloader as first class loader
Moreover if I'm not wrong hibernate 4.3.X supports JPA2.1 spec so you should use this spec

Unable to get available provider resolvers

When we use Bean Validation, it is working fine. But after running for some time, there is a RuntimeException:

lib : hibernate-validator-5.0.1.Final.jar

I got this error from WebSphere. validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar has always been added to the target EAR file. This was never a problem until I changed the class loading strategy to "parent last". I also get this exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.bval.jsr303.ApacheValidationProvider incompatible with javax.validation.spi.ValidationProvider
The solution was to remove validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar from the target EAR file by adding the following dependency, which sets validation-api to "provided":
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
<artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.GA</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Your classpath doesn't have spring-web-x.x.x.jar, that's why the exception is. Please use Maven build tool for building your Spring MVC project. Add all the necessary dependencies in pom.xml. For spring-web 3.0.4 version, it would be
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
<version>3.0.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
