I am developing an application using SPRING 3.0.4, JPA 2, Hibernate 3.5.5.

I an trying an existing example given on link http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2010/05/jboss-42x-spring-3-jpa-hibernate.html.

Can anyone here help me to solve the problem.

Please let me know if you need anything else from me.

Thanks.

I personally never succeeded using JPA 2.0 with JBoss 5.1.x (due to too tight integration with JPA 1.0) although it seems possible with JBoss 4.2.

My suggestion would be to either use JBoss 6.0 M4 (at the time of writing this) and to remove all the hibernate related JARs from the webapp:

  • antlr-2.7.6.jar
  • commons-collections-3.1.jar
  • dom4j-1.6.1.jar
  • hibernate3.jar
  • hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.0.Final.jar
  • javassist-3.9.0.GA.jar
  • jta-1.1.jar

Or to simply use Tomcat (and deploy your webapp as is) since you're not using anything from JBoss.
