Hibernate, Spring and SLF4J Binding

Question

I\'m trying to setup a webapp with maven2 managed dependcies. Here my pom.xml

Answer 1

This should indeed work, the slf4j-log4j12 binding contains org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.

1. Try to clean and redeploy your application, maybe something went wrong during deployment.
2. Double check that the downloaded slf4j-log4j12-1.5.8.jar is not corrupted (try to open it).
3. Maybe even delete it and let maven re-download it.

Some unrelated remarks:

• Instead of repeating frameworks version in dependencies, you should use a property. For example:

  ...
  
    3.0.2.RELEASE
    ...
  
  
    
      org.springframework
      spring-core
      ${spring.version}
    
    ...
  
  

• hibernate-core is a transitive dependency of hibernate-annotations, you don't need to declare it (if you want to use JPA, you should actually depend on hibernate-entitymanager).
