Could not parse - org.dom4j.DocumentException: org.dom4j.DocumentFactory cannot be cast to org.dom4j.DocumentFactory

Question

I am deploying my application to Tomcat 6.0.20.

Application uses Hibernate as ORM, Spring, and JSF for web-tier.

I also made simple runner from main() method

Answer 1

I solved it by excluding dom4j from hibernate entitymanager.

Also make sure you do mvn clean before.

    
        org.hibernate
        hibernate-entitymanager
        4.1.5.SP1
        compile
         
            
                dom4j
                dom4j
