Spring Data JPA - PersistenceException thrown

#1

In a Spring-managed application that has 2 EntityManagerFactories (one Hibernate and one ObjectDB), I see the 2 EMFs created successfully on startup, but then subsequently when the application is initializing Spring JPA repositories with Hibernate EntityManagers, the application throws the following stacktrace. I've seen a couple of similar posts regarding a NPE when looking for resources, but they seem different enough that they might be a different issue.

Another stacktrace shows similar info in a different format:

It's difficult to debug exactly what might be going on due to the obfuscated code.

I will note that if the JpaMetamodelMappingContextFactoryBean does not execute getMetamodels during startup, the application does not throw this exception at startup and the EMFs (both Hibernate and ObjectDB) seem to get constructed successfully.

#2

After a few hours of debugging, I found that the MetaModel is for JPA 1.0 spec. The dependency listed on the maven page

 

http://m2.objectdb.com/com/objectdb/objectdb/2.6.3/

 

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
            <artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.0</version>
        </dependency>

 

Fixes this issue.
