NoSuchMethodError in org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.PersistenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.findPersistenceMetadata() [SPR-6457]

Sebastian Staudt opened SPR-6457 and commented

Upgrading from 3.0.0.RC1 to 3.0.0.RC2 I started receiving this error on application startup:

You're probably mixing different versions of Spring modules: e.g. spring-orm 3.0 RC2 against spring-beans 3.0 RC1. That won't work; please upgrade all your modules to the same Spring version...

Sebastian Staudt commented

D'oh. Although I checked this, a clean build fixed this problem.

Thanks anyway.

Helena Edelson commented

I am having this problem and can not, with many different configurations, resolve it. I've read and re-read the 3.0 Test documentation section for the release and would love to see what I am doing wrong :)

If I simply do this with @TestExecutionListeners commented out, uncommented, with a value, without a value, I still get the same error. I played around with this in another app, on several operating systems, and I still can't get annotational unit testing to work with the 3.0 release, again, checking with the documentation and playing with many configurations.

/**

• Unit test for simple App.
  */
  //@TestExecutionListeners({DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.class})
  @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
  @ContextConfiguration({"classpath:applicationContext.xml", "classpath:infrastructureContext.xml"})
  public class WarehouseTest {
  private final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(WarehouseTest.class);
  /@Autowired private WarehouseImpl warehouse;/

  @Test
  public void annotatedConfigWithSpring3Release(){
  System.out.println("hello ");
  }
  }

My simple context (since I have all configuration commented out to isolate the issue):

<?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-3.0.xsd">

<bean id="warehouse" class="org.springsource.sample.domain.services.WarehouseImpl">
     <property name="message" value="${warehouse.greeting}"/> 
</bean>

I will include my pom if I can but basically I am using the
SpringSource Enterprise Bundle Repository, all modules

After a clean and build I get
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.InjectionMetadata.<init>(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/util/Collection;)V....etc

with this commented out or uncommented (I am not finding documentation on whether this is related or not)
<context:component-scan base-package="org.springsource.sample"/>
in my infrastructureConfig.xml

Thanks!

My pom - a work in progress ;) as I am setting up a new app to eventually use for demo's

Helena Edelson commented

One behavior is if you just add the listener annotation, thinking it will use the default, you do not get the error but you also do not get the application context loaded:
@TestExecutionListeners//({DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.class})
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration({"classpath:applicationContext.xml", "classpath:infrastructureContext.xml"})
public class WarehouseTest { ... }

Whereas if you explicitly add what the documentation states is the default you get the error but you do get the context loaded:
@TestExecutionListeners({DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.class})

same behavior as above if you do not include the listener
//@TestExecutionListeners({DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.class})
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration({"classpath:applicationContext.xml", "classpath:infrastructureContext.xml"})
public class WarehouseTest { ... }

And if I extend AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests, with any of the annotated configurations I get the same error, all after clean/build.

So I'm just wondering what I am missing for configuration?

Helena Edelson commented

I get the same error if I run a main method vs in a unit test environment
but ONLY when pulling in an array of config files vs one

public static ApplicationContext loadConfigurations() {
    /* does not throw this error */
    return new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");
    
     /* does throw this error
     return new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[]{
            "applicationContext.xml",
            "infrastructureContext.xml"
    });*/
}
public static void main(String[] args){
    ApplicationContext context = loadConfigurations();       
    Warehouse warehouse = (Warehouse) context.getBean("warehouse");   
}

Helena Edelson commented

org.springframework.orm is somehow the problem or a misconfiguration by the user.
All test and app config behaves as expected if I comment this out of my pom:

<!-- <dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>org.springframework.orm</artifactId>
<version>${org.springframework.version}</version>
</dependency-->

Bernhard Grünewaldt commented

With Spring Version 3.0.0.RELEASE and apache-tomcat-6.0.24 with Java 6 u 18
I have the same Problem when using spring-orm.

When uncommenting spring-orm everything works.

Can you please provide a solution.

Jean-Christian Gagné commented

I had the same issue with Spring 3.0.5-RELEASE. It appears to be an Eclipse + Maven plugin issue.

My projet has a dependency on another project opened in my workspace, and that project uses Spring-2.5.5. With the Maven plugin's option "Enable Worspace Resolution" on, spring-2.5.5 jar (and probably many others) was added to my project's classpath causing a conflict. Disabling worspace resolution resolved the problem.
