Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.dom4j.io.STAXEventReader


I am developing a web service application but sessionFactory bean is not creating because of below error. I can't see duplicate or conflict version of dom4j jar. I tried various times to referesh/clean server and project in eclipse.

Hibernate version 5.1.0.Final

I am totally stuck. Do any of you guys have any clue how to resolve this??


Solution

  • Thanks to Hohenheim to point out the version issue.

    Hibernate core 5.1.0.Final include dom4j-1.6.1 jar which throws this error. To fix this, need to exclude dom4j-1.6.1 from hibernate-core and include dom4j-1.6 in your pom.

    I am not able find the exact reason why this is happening.

    This is how I excluded dom4j from pom in hibernate dependency.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
        <version>5.1.0.Final</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <artifactId>jta</artifactId>
                <groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
            </exclusion>
            <!-- Exclude SLF4j to avoid version conflicts (we have 1.6.6, this drags 
                    in 1.6.1) -->
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
                <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
            <!-- Exclude dom4j to avoid version conflicts (we have 1.6, this drags 
                    in 1.6.1) -->
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>dom4j</groupId>
                <artifactId>dom4j</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>
