Deploying JBoss Seam Booking JPA example to WebLogic 9.1

[mgrouch]

I've built JBoss Seam Booking JPA example for weblogic from jboss-seam-1.2.1.GA release. It gives the following error when I try to deploy it into
WebLogic 9.1

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

From Java documentation java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

Thrown if an application tries to call a specified method of a class (either static or instance), and that class no longer has a definition of that method.

Normally, this error is caught by the compiler; this error can only occur at run time if the definition of a class has incompatibly changed.

Any clues how definition of javax.persistence.ManyToOne.targetEntity()
could change?

Thanks a lot

[gavin.king]

Can only happen if BEA does not implement the spec correctly :-)

[mgrouch]

Is there any workaround to make it work on WebLogic 9.1? Thx

[mgrouch]

I've found this post on Bea forums

# Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory.getEntityManager()Ljavax/persistence/EntityManager;

Curious, I think this could be a bug from Hibernate or ejb3-persistance implementation.

* Problems using JPA implemented by Hibernate in Weblogic 9.1


The cause of NoSuchMethodError is that weblogic.jar contains javax.persisence.EntityManager interface which is in conflict with JPA 1.0 (EJB 3.0) persistence.jar shipped with Hibernate 3.2. As weblogic.jar is first on the classpath, the problem occurs. The solution is to copy "persistence.jar" to WL's JDK lib/ext dir (normally it is bea/jdk150_03/jre/lib/ext) and restart the server.

I will try that.

[mgrouch]

Putting ejb3-persistence.jar before weblogic.jar on JVM classpath solved this problem.

I've got a new one though

[ajaneesh]

i think the solution would be to override the transaction api of weblogic by adding ejb3-persistence.jar before weblogic.jar in startWebLogic.sh/bat

This solved a similar problem for me.

However i hope it doesnt affect other application in the same domain!

[ajaneesh]

Looks like you created the pool/datasource but have not targeted it to any server. check "" node in config.xml

[ajaneesh]

oops i meant "target" node

[mgrouch]

Got it working after configuring pointbase demo DB in my weblogic instance.
Thanks all!
