Hibernate “PreInsertEvent.getSource()” NoSuchMethodError

Question

I\'m recieving the following error when trying to do inserts:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError : org.hibernate.event.PreInsertEvent.getSource()Lorg/hibernate/

Answer 1

The actual problem for me when this error occurred is

1. Hibernate-core dependency was not in my EAR packaging.

2. By default it was picking the jboss.4.2.3/.../lib's hibernate3.jar.

3. Just adding hibernate-core-3.3.1.GA to my dependencies list in EAR packaging.

4. Already had the overriding of loaders set in jboss-app.xml.

5. Excluded the hibernate-core from hibernate-entitymanager-3.4.0.GA (don't think this is required as the core supplied will be 3.3.0.SP1 and will be omitted anyhow).

It worked with some exclusions of some already existing xml-apis, ejb3-persistence, etc. dependecies from the hibernate-core.

Finally the core dependency looked like this.

    
        org.hibernate
        hibernate-core
        3.3.1.GA
          
            
                ejb3-persistence
                org.hibernate
            
            
                jta
                javax.transaction
            
            
                persistence-api
                javax.persistence
            
            
                xml-apis
                xml-apis
            
        
    

Note: I don't think cglib is required is its not relevant to this context.

Hope this is useful for someone.
