Problem running AbstractJpaTests using spring-framework-2.1-m1+Maven2+JPA+Hibernate

[softengg]

Dear All,

Same application described below runs very fine on ant build scripts taken from petclinic sample from spring-framework-2.1-m1 release.

I am having problems running a very basic JUnit test case via Maven2. The application uses spring-framework-2.1-m1 release, and test case extends from org.springframework.test.jpa.AbstractJpaTests, uses org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityMa nagerFactoryBean as entityManagerFactory, and uses
org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVen dorAdapter as jpaVendorAdapter propery for entityManagerFactory.

All the details are below including the exception stack trace, spring bean defination files, lib depenencies from pom.xml. persistence.xml, orm.xml etc are below and a complete project is attached with as zip file.

I removed the Annotations based persistence, thought problem would have to be related to this, but no use.

Complete project is present in the attached zip file. pom.xml can be verified for the dependencies that i imported from spring-framework-2.1-m1\lib to maven local rep.
Waiting for anxious response from great spring team!

Take a look at this blog entry and see if the suggestions there solve your issue:

Thanx for the reply. I have tried his solution #1 and excluded explicitly the dependency for hibernate on asm libs and added for spring as described in the blog. But the exception remains the same. One important thing i want to highilght is that i am also putting javassist lib as depenedncy as when i dont add it, i get javassist is not in the classpath. And as soon as i add it, this exception starts coming. But strange thing is that same app runs fine with ant build script used in spring's example petclinic.

I've tried your project on my machine and it actually just worked.
Looking at your stacktrace though I think there is still a jar lingering on your classpath that has the wrong version.

I don't know much about maven but maybe you could try running

mvn clean

.
