Answer 1

If you are working with Spring Data JPA and Java Configuration, you will be able to solve it, adding the following code in your Entity Manager Factory:

factory.setPersistenceProvider(new HibernatePersistenceProvider());

@Bean
    public EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory() throws SQLException {

      HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
      vendorAdapter.setGenerateDdl(true);
      vendorAdapter.setShowSql(true);

      LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean factory = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
      factory.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);
      **factory.setPersistenceProvider(new HibernatePersistenceProvider());**
      factory.setPackagesToScan("com.company.appname.persistence.domain");
      factory.setDataSource(dataSource());

      factory.setJpaProperties(hibernateProperties());
      factory.afterPropertiesSet();

      return factory.getObject();
    }
