NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/service/ServiceRegistry

Question

I can't figure out why I am getting this error in my Servlet but not in my test class: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/service/ServiceRegistry

I have hibernate 5.1.14

The servlet is below. Code crashes at BookDAO dao = DAOUtilities.getBookDAO();. I tested and it actually crashes on all of my DAOs. It just is getting a data access object (DAO) so that I can retrieve all books in the db. I'll also include the working test class for comparison. Let me know if you need to see anything else.

EDIT: I'm not using Maven (at least not knowingly). I'm adding JARs manually.

        BookDAO dao = DAOUtilities.getBookDAO(); //fails here
        TagDAO tgdao = DAOUtilities.getTagDAO();


        // Grab the list of Books from the Database
        List<Book> bookList = dao.getAllBooks();

        //Grab the tags for each book from the Database
        HashMap<String, String> booktags = new HashMap<String, String>();
        for(Book b : bookList) {
            String tags = "";
            List<Tag> tempTags = tgdao.getTagsByBook(b);
            for(Integer i=0; i<tempTags.size(); i++) {
                tags+=tempTags.get(i).getName()+";";
            }
            tags = tags.substring(0, tags.length() - 1);
            booktags.put(b.getIsbn13(), tags);
        }

Answer 1

I have had this issue a lot recently using Eclipse actually. I find that sometimes, randomly (and annoyingly), Eclipse doesn't generate the .class files required. Normally I delete the /bin/ directory from my project and then refresh and clean my project and it will generate the respective .class files. Before you do this, check to see if the .class files are there in the /bin/ directory.

In addition to this, if you are adding the .JAR files manually, check to see if they are in the build path.

Have you added hibernate-core dependency to your pom.xml ?

if not add it something like this

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>5.x.x</version>
</dependency>
