Answer 1

Thanks to Hohenheim to point out the version issue.

Hibernate core 5.1.0.Final include dom4j-1.6.1 jar which throws this error. To fix this, need to exclude dom4j-1.6.1 from hibernate-core and include dom4j-1.6 in your pom.

I am not able find the exact reason why this is happening.

This is how I excluded dom4j from pom in hibernate dependency.

    org.hibernate
    hibernate-core
    5.1.0.Final
    
        
            jta
            javax.transaction
        
        
        
            org.slf4j
            slf4j-api
        
        
        
            dom4j
            dom4j
