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: 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;
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"
version="2.0">
<persistence-unit name="civilforsvaret" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<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 :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

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.
