java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.logging.Logger.debug Spring 4.3, Hibernate 5.1

Question

I'm pulling what hair I have left out of my head trying to resolve this issue. I have two projects with one dependent on another.

Here's the stack trace:

My intention is to build a Jax-RS service using hibernate on top of MySQL with it all loaded with Spring.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I found the answer, Hibernate 5.1.0 Final is dependent on JBoss Logging. I added

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.logging</groupId>
    <artifactId>jboss-logging</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.0.Final</version>
</dependency>

I still need the following exclusions:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.ext</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-spring3</artifactId>
    <version>2.23</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.hk2.external</groupId>
            <artifactId>bean-validator</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.0.RELEASE</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
            <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-c3p0</artifactId>
    <version>5.1.0.Final</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <artifactId>jboss-logging</artifactId>
            <groupId>org.jboss.logging</groupId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.0.Final</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <artifactId>jboss-logging</artifactId>
            <groupId>org.jboss.logging</groupId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

Thanks for your help, sometimes you just need another set of eyes or a nudge in the right direction.

Answer 2

Looks like you are trying to use Commons Logging and exclude the jboss logger. But one of the classes is using jboss logging. From the stack trace find out the class, which is calling the jboss logger class. Since at runtime the logger class is not available, the app is throwing NoSuchMethodError.
