Problem Statement

I am receiving the following exception when I run my Spring Boot application.

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:

    org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationBinder.bindJoinedTableAssociation(AnnotationBinder.java:2548)

The following method did not exist:

    javax.persistence.JoinTable.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index;

The method's class, javax.persistence.JoinTable, is available from the following locations:

    jar:file:/C:/Users/Usuario/IdeaProjects/spring-security/lib/javax.persistence.jar!/javax/persistence/JoinTable.class
    jar:file:/C:/Users/Usuario/.m2/repository/jakarta/persistence/jakarta.persistence-api/2.2.3/jakarta.persistence-api-2.2.3.jar!/javax/persistence/JoinTable.class

The class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations:

    javax.persistence.JoinTable: file:/C:/Users/Usuario/IdeaProjects/spring-security/lib/javax.persistence.jar


Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of javax.persistence.JoinTable


Process finished with exit code 1
