I’m using Spring Framework 3.1 with Hibernate 4.1 as a JPA provider, and I have a fully functional setup, but every time the web app is started I see this warning message:

14:28:12,725  WARN pool-2-thread-12 internal.EntityManagerFactoryRegistry:80 - HHH000436: Entity manager factory name (something) is already registered.  If entity manager will be clustered or passivated, specify a unique value for property 'hibernate.ejb.entitymanager_factory_name'

The application functions just fine, but warning messages like that bother me, and hours of searching and tweaking and experimenting have lead me nowhere. I’ve tried changing the factory name and adding and omitting chunks of configuration, all to no avail. It appears that something in Spring or Hibernate is just initializing the entity manager factory twice.

FYI, I’m using the packagesToScan functionality of the LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean to configure the entity manager without a persistence.xml file.

I’ve pared down my spring context XML to the following and the problem persists:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
       xsi:schemaLocation="
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">

  <context:property-placeholder location="classpath:jdbc.properties"/>
  <bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSource" destroy-method="close">
    <property name="driverClassName" value="${jdbc.nightsword.driverClassName}"/>
    <property name="url" value="${jdbc.nightsword.url}"/>
    <property name="username" value="${jdbc.nightsword.username}"/>
    <property name="password" value="${jdbc.nightsword.password}"/>
  </bean>

  <bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
    <property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
      <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter"/>
    </property>
    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
    <property name="packagesToScan" value="x.y"/>
  </bean>
</beans>

For completeness, here’s hibernate.properties:

hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
hibernate.ejb.entitymanager_factory_name=something

And here’s excerpted debug-level log output from both org.springframework.orm and org.hibernate. You can see how at 14:40:06,911 the EntityManagerFactory is registered from the first time, and immediately thereafter the LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean appears to start all over from the beginning. Huh.

    How are you initializing your Spring Application Context? Are you using Spring MVC?

    I’ve seen sometimes Spring MVC XML configurations importing the other app. context XML, causing instancing twice some beans because they are declared in the application context and the web application context.
