Question

We sucessfully implementedSpring , hibernate +jpa in our application with Xa transcation.but we trying to implement criteria in our application we are facing one error that ,

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.EntityManager.getCriteriaBuilder()

So could you tell which implementation classes are using in hybernate for javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaBuilder interface
listed few jar file we are using ,

hibernate 3.3 , jpa 2.0
spring-orm 3.0.2
hibernate-entitymanager

Update:

I changed my hibernate jar into( hibernate-core-3.6.0.CR2,hibernate-entitymanager-3.6.0.CR2 versions ) but still same exception is coming ,

CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder= this.getJpaTemplate().getEntityManagerFactory().getCriteriaBuilder();

In my config file:

<beans:bean id="jpaTemplate" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTemplate">
    <beans:property name="entityManagerFactory">
        <beans:ref bean="entityManagerFactory" />
    </beans:property>
</beans:bean>


<beans:bean id="entityManagerFactory"
    class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
    <!-- added by shiju  for getting atomoikas xa datasource-->
    <beans: property name="dataSource">
        <beans: ref bean="dataSource"/>
    </beans: property>
    <beans: property name="persistenceUnitName" value="payhub" />
    <beans: property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
        <beans:bean
            class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
            <beans: property name="generateDdl" value="false" />
            <beans: property name="showSql" value="true" />
            <beans: property name="databasePlatform" value="${database.target}" />
        </beans:bean>
    </beans: property>
    <beans: property name="persistenceXmlLocation">
        <beans:value>classpath:META-INF/persistence.xml</beans:value>
    </beans:property>
</beans:bean>

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory.getCriteriaBuilder()Ljavax/persistence/criteria/CriteriaBuilder;…

Could you give any other solution?

I’m pretty sure Hibernate 3.3 doesn’t implement JPA 2. You’ll need to upgrade to something more recent (e.g. 3.6)
