Could not initialize class org.hibernate.ogm.datastore.mongodb.MongoDBDialect

Hibernate OGM

I get this error when I simply try to instanciate an EntityManagerFactory.
This is the stacktrace

A commercial dependency (I hided in the pom above) have those deps

                 <dependency>
			<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
			<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
			<version>5.4.2.Final</version>
		</dependency>

		<dependency>
			<groupId>javax.el</groupId>
			<artifactId>javax.el-api</artifactId>
			<version>2.2.2</version>
		</dependency>

Here I see there is some kind of incompatibility between OGM and hibernate-validator.

How can I solve? Which version should I use for both deps?

2

Hi, would you be able to share somewhere a small test project that I can use to check this exception, please?

3

I tried to isolate the problem in another project and somehow I get another error about an ASM dependency version incompatibility.

Before I try to reproduce the same error in title: I want to upgrade Hibernate (the main project works fine with Hibernate OGM 5.1.0) for one reason: GrifFS annotation. I need to overcome the 16MB limitation, but I’m would to know if @GridFS works fine with @Embedded or @ElementCollection fields.

4

Hibernate OGM doesn’t have a GridFS annotation.

An example of using GridFS with OGM is the following:

import org.hibernate.ogm.datastore.mongodb.options.GridFSBucket;
import org.hibernate.ogm.datastore.mongodb.type.GridFS;

@Entity
public class Photo {

	public static final String BUCKET_NAME = "photos";

	@Id
	private String id;

	@GridFSBucket(BUCKET_NAME)
	private GridFS gridfs;

	private GridFS gridfsWithDefaultBucket;

       // ...

As long as you use the GridFS type from OGM you can store any byte[] or InputStream in it.

You can see the test on GitHub: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-ogm/tree/master/mongodb/src/test/java/org/hibernate/ogm/datastore/mongodb/test/gridfs

5

so can’t I store java objects in GridFS?

6

You need to wrap them in an input stream.
Out of curiosity, what kind of objects are you trying to store?

7

a list of plain java objects…but the list is pretty big (100k-250k items)

8

GridFs works with input streams, so you would need to make the whole list serializable one way or another.

10

ok I figure it out.
A library I use have this dep

<dependency>
    <groupId>asm</groupId>
    <artifactId>asm</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.1</version>
</dependency>

another one have this dep

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.ow2.asm</groupId>
    <artifactId>asm</artifactId>
    <version>5.2</version>
</dependency>

As far as I understand in 2011 “asm” has changed its groupId. Since they have different groupId maven loads them both, and this causes that error in Hibernate-ogm 5.4.1 (but NOT in 5.1.0).

12

do you investigated a little about what exactly caused this issue? This problem was so weird I’m curious…

13

Not really, I’m still waiting for a test case reproducing the problem.

14

Ok.
As I said, I solved updating ASM and its grouId, but I wasn’t able to reproduce the same error in title in a blank project (in a black project I get an ASM related specific error).
Anyway I solved, that’s all that matters :slight_smile:
