javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named customerManager

Viewed 170922

I am new to JPA & Hibernate. After reading some online materials I now understand what Hibernate is and how it can be used with JPA.

Now, I am trying to run this JPA & Hibernate tutorial. I've done everything they mention in this tutorial.

I don't have Oracle DB, only MySQL. So I made some changes to persistence.xml using my understanding of JPA & Hibernate (I don't know if it's correct or not... Seems to me it is.)

Here is my persistence.xml

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemalocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd" version="1.0">
  <persistence-unit name="customerManager" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
    <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
    <class>Customer</class>
    <properties>
      <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect"/>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
      <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="root"/>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="1234"/>
      <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/general"/>
      <property name="hibernate.max_fetch_depth" value="3"/>
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

But I don't seem to get the output they describe. It's giving me:

Customer id before creation:null
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.Version).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
Exception in thread "main" javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence     provider for EntityManager named customerManager

 at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:33)
 at CustomerDAO.create(CustomerDAO.java:8)
 at CustomerDAO.main(CustomerDAO.java:22)

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Update:

I have made the changes that are asked to done. But, still getting the asme error lines!!!

They didnt mentioned anything about orm.xml in that tutorial. may it be a problem causer!!!

If you are using Maven you may have both src/{main,test}/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml. This is a common setup: test your JPA code with h2 or Derby and deploy it with PostgreSQL or some other full DBMS. If you're using this pattern, do make sure the two files have different unit names, else some versions of the Persistence class will try to load BOTH (because of course your test-time CLASSPATH includes both classes and test-classes); this will cause conflicting definitions of the persistence unit, resulting in the dreaded annoying message that we all hate so much!

Worse: this may "work" with some older versions of e.g., Hibernate, but fail with current versions. Worth getting it right anyway...
