I am getting below error while I am upgrading hibernate from 4.1 to 5.3.1. The project build just fine but when I run it I am getting this error. On doing some digging around, I found that this is mostly related with old hibernate jars being present in classpath.
Below are the jars present in lib folder of my latest war file.

How should I debug which jar is causing this issue ?
With 5.3.1 you definitely need to use hibernate-jpa-2.1.
Try to run the mvn dependency:tree to find which dependency is having the hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.0.Final.jar. Exclude this transitive dependency.
