Deprecated Persistence Provider: org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence

[juergen.zimmermann]

Thanks to Scott Marlows advice in Re: Upgrade Hibernate: 4.3.0.Beta4 to 4.3.0.Beta5 I upgraded Hibernate (plus the snaphost for core). My tests are working fine, but I'm getting the warning below.

I also tried to extend META-INF/persistence.xml (the warning still appears):

<persistence-unit name="shopPU">

   <provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>

   ...

The warning:

HHH015016: Encountered a deprecated javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider [org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence]; use [org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider] instead.

I'm not sure why that is logged when the org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence provider is loaded but not used.  It sounds like a premature warning to me.

[smarlow]

Could you create a https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH jira to move the warning to when the org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence is used instead of when its loaded.

Here it is: [HHH-8625] Wrong warning about deprecated persistence provider - Hibernate JIRA

Resolved in the latest Hibernate snapshot

This warning still appears using Hibernate 4.3.5 Final.

WARN: HHH015016: Encountered a deprecated javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider [org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence];

use [org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider] instead.

Even if I use this META-INF/persistence.xml declaration:

<persistence-unit name="trading_entities" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">

     <provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>

     <class>...</class>

I've just found that this issue is still open, see: [HHH-9141] Wrong warning about deprecated persistence provider - Hibernate JIRA

I believe that this will change for Hibernate 5.0, you could disable logging of Hibernate warnings until then.
