Using Criteria

[ropo]

Hi,

I am trying to use Criteria in my Spring 3 / JPA / Maven project.

I keep getting

NoClassDefFoundError: javax/persistence/criteria/Selection

or

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.EntityManager.getCriteriaBuilder()Ljavax/persistence/criteria/CriteriaBuilder;

I don't really know the difference between the com.springsource.* artifacts and the others I find. Where can I learn more about these? I feel that I missing information like hibernate release notes, ...

Does anybody have a working pom.xml with Criteria? Which hibernate version is required?

Here are most of the project's dependencies. (Sorry for posting the long list)

Judging from the stacktrace you have jpa 1 somewhere in your classpath which is loaded/detected before jpa 2 api... Hence your errors.. Check your dependencies and try to figure out what is pulling in that dependency or check your server (I guess it is at deployment time?).
