Hi Ranu,

This kind of error clearly indicates that you have classloading issue. Most likely two different versions of the same library. Please check if you bundle dom4j with your test archive and if it's already available in the conainer.

As per second post i made the change in manifest but its not working because i thing Aruillian replacing my manifest file with the default file.

And for the first one we have not included the dom4j jar explicity its come in hibernate entity manager dependency.

Can You please tell me how i can use the user defined manifest file in Arquillian war.

Can you try to remove it from your WAR just to check what would be the result? [eg. exclude from hibernate and put as provided dependency in pom]

For the manifest file, I believe you can simply do it through shrinkwrap API. Just create some other one, named TEST-MANIFEST.MF for example, and put in the archive with the proper name.

I did as you told, Now deployment started but my test is giving attached exception.

I am using the same orm.xml file which was working on application side.

I'm sorry but it looks to me like very much application specific error... I'm not even sure if it has something to do with Arquillian at all. I would suggest to analyze if your test deployment contains all what you need if the full blown app is easily deployable and works without this problem.
