[FIXED] cannot be cast to org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.MetadataProviderInjector

Issue

In my spring project I am using hibernate for access database..

I have

<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />
    <bean id="sessionFactory"
        class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean"
        p:dataSource-ref="dataSource" p:packagesToScan-ref="packagesToScan"
        p:hibernateProperties-ref="hibernateProperties" />

    <util:map id="hibernateProperties">
        <entry key="hibernate.show_sql" value="false" />
        <!-- <entry key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" /> -->
        <entry key="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect" />
    </util:map>

    <util:list id="packagesToScan">
        <value>com.preeti.myproject</value>
    </util:list>


    <bean id="transactionManager"
        class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager"
        p:sessionFactory-ref="sessionFactory" />

In pom file I have:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.11.Final</version>
</dependency>

But when I run that project I am getting error:

Error creating bean with name 'SignupController':

Injection of autowired dependencies failed; 
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:
Could not autowire field: 
private com.preeti.myproject.service.UserService 
com.preeti.myproject.controller.SignupController.userService
 nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: 
Error creating bean with name 'userService': 
Injection of autowired dependencies failed; 
Could not autowire field:

nested exception is java.lang.ClassCastException:
 org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.java.JavaReflectionManager
 cannot be cast to org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.MetadataProviderInjector

when I used

 hibernate 3.5.0-final,
hibernate-core-3.5.4-Final,
hibernate-entitymanager-3.5.4-Final,
hibernate-commons-annotations-3.3.0.ga

that project has no error..

What I have to update to reduce this errors..

Solution

Go to project(right click)>properties>libraries

delete all jars.

you have pom.xml file that means you are using maven.

So,go to terminal >locate your project then run :

mvn clean install
