Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.OptionalValidatorFactoryBean#0

Im new to hibernate, and not quite sure what is wrong with my application. So i have these 2 modules: Core and Website.

  • Module core has all the entities, daos and all database work. all DAOs inherit an AbstractDAO.
  • Module Website does all the front end stuff like jsps, mvc controllers... It is a maven module that supports spring framework.

Im trying to implement second level cache using ehcache factory. however i'm receiving this error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.OptionalValidatorFactoryBean#0': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConfigurationImpl org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.initializeBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1568) org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.doCreateBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:540) org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:476) org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory$1.getObject(AbstractBeanFactory.java:302) org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry.getSingleton(DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry.java:229) org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.doGetBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:298) org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:193) org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.preInstantiateSingletons(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:725) org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.finishBeanFactoryInitialization(AbstractApplicationContext.java:757) org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.refresh(AbstractApplicationContext.java:480) org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:663) org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.createWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:629) org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.createWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:677) org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.initWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:548) org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.initServletBean(FrameworkServlet.java:489) org.springframework.web.servlet.HttpServletBean.init(HttpServletBean.java:136) javax.servlet.GenericServlet.init(GenericServlet.java:158) org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:502) org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:79) org.apache.catalina.valves.AbstractAccessLogValve.invoke(AbstractAccessLogValve.java:617) org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:518) org.apache.coyote.http11.AbstractHttp11Processor.process(AbstractHttp11Processor.java:1091) org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol$AbstractConnectionHandler.process(AbstractProtocol.java:668) org.apache.tomcat.util.net.AprEndpoint$SocketProcessor.doRun(AprEndpoint.java:2503) org.apache.tomcat.util.net.AprEndpoint$SocketProcessor.run(AprEndpoint.java:2492) java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.TaskThread$WrappingRunnable.run(TaskThread.java:61) java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

The error appears when I add logback-classic.jar, but if i remove it i receive another error.

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Handler processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ch/qos/logback/classic/selector/ContextSelector at org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.triggerAfterCompletionWithError(DispatcherServlet.java:1287) at org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.doDispatch(DispatcherServlet.java:961) at org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.doService(DispatcherServlet.java:877) at com.before90.website.action.application.ControllerServlet.doService(ControllerServlet.java:28) at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.processRequest(FrameworkServlet.java:966) at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.doGet(FrameworkServlet.java:857) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:622)

I don't know why the error is appearing. it shows that there is a spring framework error, where spring is not implemented in module Core ( where all the DAOs are). Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

If you are using hibernate-validator, in my case, I just added one more dependency as below: (because javax.xml.bind will not be available on classpath by default in JAVA 9 and above, please refer to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java.xml.bind-summary.html )

validator need one more dependency

I don't think that you can use hibernate-validator 5.2.2 (for Hibernate 5) with Hibernate 4. Try to use hibernate-validator 4.2.0.Final.

And there are two ehcache jars in your class path!

Try to use Maven or Gradle build to get valid dependences.

You need to have all require dependency 

    <!-- JSR 303 Dependencies -->

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
        <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.0.Final</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>

You don't need to remove logback-classic.jar, Instead the root cause seems to be the missing definition for org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConfigurationImpl As per Google, you need to include http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-validator If its a maven project then the below config in your pom dependencies shall make things work smooth for you

<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>5.2.4.Final</version>

The problem was with the WAR only.
