Question

I’m having trouble getting an application running on Jetty.

If I run the app using the maven jetty plugin i.e.

mvn jetty:run

It all runs fine. If I package the app as a war and try to deploy to a Jetty server manually I get the exception

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.3.1: Value '2.0' of attribute 'version' of element 'persistence' is not valid with respect to the corresponding attribute use. Attribute 'version' has a fixed value of '1.0'.

It I try and deploy to Jetty using

mvn jetty:run-war

I get the same error.

The hibernate/JPA dependancies my app is using are

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
        <version>3.6.7.Final</version>

    <dependency>

        <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0.GA</version>
    </dependency>

I’m confused why it works when running with jetty:run and not when deployed as a war. I’ve tried various versions of both Jetty 7 and 8 with no luck.

Thanks.

Can anyone spot anything wrong with what I’m trying?

EDIT: Heres the persistence.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

             version="2.0">

        <properties>
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect"/>

        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Answer 1

Do you have older (before JPA2 compatibility) version of hibernate in your classpath before 2.0 compatible libraries? It can also come via some dependency.
