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

I am using Hibernate Entity Manager. It complains that it cant find persistence provider but still logs it in the logs :

    TRACE 2011-02-21 22:17:52,843 [main](Ejb3Configuration.java:321) org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration - PersistenceMetadata(version=2.0) [
        name: sample
        jtaDataSource: null
        nonJtaDataSource: null
        transactionType: RESOURCE_LOCAL
        provider: org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePeristence

        ]
        hbmfiles: 0
        properties[

            hibernate.connection.password: tiger
            hibernate.dialect: org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect
            hibernate.show_sql: true
            hibernate.connection.url: jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:krsna
            hibernate.archive.autodetection: class, hbm
            hibernate.connection.driver_class: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
        ]]
    Exception in thread "main" javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named sample
        at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:54)
        at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:32)
        at EMPersistDemo2.main(EMPersistDemo2.java:26)

It is evident that it finds it, logs it ...but still throws that exception. Am I missing some thing ?

I am using maven and I placed persistence.xml in src/main/resources/META-INF. Its contents are :

    <!-- persistence.xml -->
    <persistence ...>
       <persistence-unit name="sample">
        <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePeristence</provider>
        <!-- Scan for annotated classes and Hibernate mapping XML files -->
        <properties>
           <property name="hibernate.archive.autodetection" value="class, hbm"/>
           <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"/>
           <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:krsna"/>
           <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="scott"/>
           <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="tiger"/>
           <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect"/>
           <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
        </properties>
        </persistence-unit>

    </persistence>

org.hibernate.Ejb3Configuration is able to find it javax.persitence.Persistence is not able to find it:

EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("sample");

I have also faced same issue but I got a solution that : missing META-INF/services/javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider file. for hibernate, it's located in hibernate-entitymanager-XXX.jar, so, if hibernate-entitymanager-XXX.jar is not in your classpath, you will got this error too.

I found the answer to my question on java coderanch.

There is a typo in my name of my persistence provider in persistence.xml:

I renamed org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePeristence to 

org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence
                              ^---

and it started working.

I am posting my answer so that this will be helpful to others.

smells like the hibernate jar files are not in the classpath since the error message says "persistence provider not found"
