javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named Eclipselink_JPA

Question

I'm new to JPA and I'm pretty lost in this.

I created an enterprise project in netbeans to do some tests. Created this persistence unit with the wizard. I added it a JNDI connection that works proper and it's already tested:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">
  <persistence-unit name="persistencia" transaction-type="JTA">
    <jta-data-source>jdbc/nuevaConexion</jta-data-source>
    <exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>
    <properties>
      <property name="javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action" value="create"/>
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Later, I created a sample entity with some test variables to see how this works:

@Entity
public class Entity1 implements Serializable {

    private static long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    private String nombre;
    private int numero;
    /**
     * @return the serialVersionUID
     */
    public static long getSerialVersionUID() {
        return serialVersionUID;
    }

    /**
     * @param aSerialVersionUID the serialVersionUID to set
     */
    public static void setSerialVersionUID(long aSerialVersionUID) {
        serialVersionUID = aSerialVersionUID;
    }
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private int id;

   // setters & getters

Then, tried to make the service CreateEntity1 to give it a try, and try to create a new element on the DB by calling it:

public class CreateEntity1 {

   public static void main( String[ ] args ) {

      EntityManagerFactory emfactory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory( "Eclipselink_JPA" );      
      EntityManager entitymanager = emfactory.createEntityManager( );
      entitymanager.getTransaction( ).begin( );

      Entity1 ent = new Entity1( ); 
      ent.setId(1);
      ent.setNombre("Mi entidad");
      ent.setNumero(123);

      entitymanager.persist( ent );
      entitymanager.getTransaction( ).commit( );
      entitymanager.close( );
      emfactory.close( );
   }
}

... but it doesn't work. I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named Eclipselink_JPA at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:85) at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:54) at service.CreateEntity1.main(CreateEntity1.java:22) C:\Users\hp\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\8.1\executor-snippets\run.xml:53: Java returned: 1 BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I changed the name of the persistence provider to the good one, but now I'm getting a serious bunch of errors.

EDIT 2: Changed everything to Hibernate type. Still getting a huge error:

Answer 1

You have missed <provider>... try to add it like this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <persistence version="2.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence"   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"   xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence   http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">
   <persistence-unit name="persistencia" transaction-type="JTA">
   <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
   ...

Look at my anwser at my anwser at Simplest working example of Spring Data JPA. To me it was simple enough. Hope it will be as simple to You.
