Starting up Hibernate 5 with jboss 7

Question

I am facing a problem while using Hibernate 5.1.0 on JBoss 7.1.1-Final. It seems like it's related to the logging classes. Here it is my build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'war'

targetCompatibility = 1.7
sourceCompatibility = 1.7

repositories {
    jcenter()
    flatDir {
       dirs 'src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib'
   }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework:spring-context:4.2.5.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework:spring-web:4.2.5.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework:spring-webmvc:4.2.5.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-frontend-jaxrs:3.1.5'
    compile 'org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-http:3.1.5'
    compile 'org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-service-description:3.1.5'
    compile 'commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient:20020423'
    compile 'javax.ws.rs:javax.ws.rs-api:2.0.1'
    compile 'org.codehaus.jackson:jackson-jaxrs:1.9.13'

    compile project (':DaoCEOrder')
    compile 'org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.1.0.Final'
    compile ':ojdbc6'
    compile 'log4j:log4j:1.2.17'
}

I get an exception at Hibernate initialisation:

Everything works fine on Tomcat 7.x. Does anybody have any idea about how to overcome this issue?

Answer 1

You have an old hibernate-core-xxx.jar in your classpath. It can reside in the JBoss default libraries (modules).

For an example, JBoss AS 7.1.2 Final has Hibernate Core 4.1.3.Final, corresponding this
