hibernate custom types for jodatime (version conflict?)

Question

I have an entity with following property:

@Type(type = "org.joda.time.contrib.hibernate.PersistentDateTime")
protected DateTime time;

and I get following error

Caused by: java.lang.AbstractMethodError
        at org.hibernate.type.CustomType.nullSafeSet(CustomType.java:158)
        at org.hibernate.persister.entity.AbstractEntityPersister.dehydrate(AbstractEntityPersister.java:2843)

I'm using jboss wildfly, which is using hibernate 4.3.1. I have joda-time-2.3.jar and joda-time-hibernate-1.3.jar in my ear. Are those versions not working together correctly?

Answer 1

On the website joda-time-hibernate it is stated that this project relates to Hibernate version 3.6, see:

"Please note that version 1.3 is for Hibernate 3.6 and not Hibernate 4.0 (as the Hibernate team have made another incompatible change). The usertype project handles Hibernate 4.0. It is also more up to date and more complete than this project in general."
