Spring Data JPA Java Config HibernatePersistence.class

Question

HibernatePersistence.class is deprecated. What should be the alternative for this code?

import org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence
@Bean  
        public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory() {  
                LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactoryBean = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();  
                entityManagerFactoryBean.setDataSource(dataSource());  
                entityManagerFactoryBean.setPersistenceProviderClass(HibernatePersistence.class);  
                entityManagerFactoryBean.setPackagesToScan(env.getRequiredProperty(PROPERTY_NAME_ENTITYMANAGER_PACKAGES_TO_SCAN));  

                entityManagerFactoryBean.setJpaProperties(hibProperties());  

                return entityManagerFactoryBean;  
        } 

Answer 1

It should be.

org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider

As the provider

Answer 2

Your code is perfectly alright. You don't need any alternative solutions. The issue is because of you missed the hibernate entity manager .jar library [or hibernate-entitymanager maven dependency if your using maven as your project builder]. Add hibernate-entitymanager maven dependency inside your pom file and update your project. It's work fine.

Thank you. Mohamed Nashath.

Answer 3

I also had this problem. I've fixed it by adding following dependency to pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
    <version>5.0.2.Final</version>
</dependency>

plus

import org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence;
