I have Spring MVC App integrated with Hibernate. Everything was OK until I use @OneToMany annotation… I’m getting the following error:

I saw that for some people helped ejb3-persitence.jar removing but my classpath doesn’t contain that jar.
There’s everythinh OK if I run this app under other application servers like JBoss or Glassfish.

    That class is provided in several jar files so you need to ensure that your application is using the correct one.

    First you need to workout which one it is using. Try and remove it from your WEB-INF/lib folder and if you still get the same error then it means it is loaded from somewhere else.

    Also try and copy it to $TOMCAT_HOME/lib as a test to see what happens.

    If you are using Eclipse try and verify the JRE/JDK you are using because the javaee-api-5 also includes these classes. It might also be worth ensuring that the javaee-api is not being included when it is loaded by Tomcat.

    Examples of jar files to that can cause conflicts with your hibernate-jpa jar file is given below (could have different version numbers):

     persistence.jar
 toplink-essentials.jar
 ejb3-persistence-1.0.1.GA.jar
 ejb3-persistence-1.0.2.GA.jar
 ejb3-persistence-3.3.2.Beta1.jar
 geronimo-jpa_1.0_spec-1.1.2.jar
 geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.0.jar
 geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.1.1.jar
 geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.1.jar
 persistence-api-1.0.jar
 geronimo-jpa_2.0_spec-1.0-PFD2.jar
 geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.0-M1.jar
 glassfish-persistence-api-b32g.jar
 javaee-api-5.0-1.jar
 javaee-api-5.0-2.jar
 openjpa-all-2.0.0-M3.jar
 openejb-itests-standalone-client-3.0.1.jar
 openejb-itests-standalone-client-3.0.jar
 openejb-itests-standalone-client-3.1.1.jar
 openejb-itests-standalone-client-3.1.jar

    The issue is definitely caused by conflicts with the jar files you just need to try different situations to work out exactly where the conflict is.
