No Such Method Error

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade to hibernate v5.3.3 and I am receiving the error:

From looking online, the issue seems to be a duplicate dependency issue with jpa but I only have jpa included once.
It might be because it has to do with the order? Should spring go before hibernate in eclipse?
Any advice to resolve this issue? Thanks.

You need to update the JPA jar to 2.1 or 2.2 as well. Maybe it’s supplied by the application server.

Hi vlad,
I updated the post above because my list got cut off but I am using javax.persistence-api-2.2.jar
Do you think it could be because of the order?

Hi vlad,
I am not using play-java-jpa. The exact error I am getting is:

I don’t see any of these dependencies overlapping so I am not too sure what else it could be.

If you debug it, you will see the dependency causing the issue. The StackOverflow answer is universal even if you don’t use Play.
