Hibernate 5 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError org.jboss.logging.Logger.debugf

Question

I have a problem when I deploy a webapp with hibernate 5

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.logging.Logger.debugf(Ljava/lang/String;I)V
at org         


        

Answer 1

In my case the culprit was the Jersey bean validator artifact. One of its dependencies, bean-validation-2.4.0-b06.jar contains Jboss logging classes, for some reason. I had to exclude the jersey-bean-validation and bean-validator artifacts from the spring-boot-starter-jersey dependency:

        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-jersey
        
            
                jersey-bean-validation
                org.glassfish.jersey.ext
            
            
                bean-validator
                org.glassfish.hk2.external
            
        
    

EDIT: As of spring-boot 1.3.0, this is fixed and the exclusions above are not necessary anymore.
