So I'm having a similar issue to Petr, I'm getting the following exception when I try to start up JBoss with my war in the server/default/deploy directory:
Caused by: org.hibernate.AnnotationException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.hibernate.validator.ClassValidator.<init>(java.lang.Class, java.util.ResourceBundle, org.hibernate.validator.MessageInterpolator, java.util.Map, org.hibernate.annotations.common.reflection.ReflectionManager)

...
Note that I'm using JPA 2.0/Hibernate 3.6.0.Final. I have a fairly simple project - in my case, it's just a war. It's a stock JBoss 6.0.0.Final install - all I've done is put my war, together with an associated db-ds.xml file, into the server/default/deploy directory. I'm also using Spring 3.0.5.
Here's the relevant section of my project's pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
<version>3.6.0.Final</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
<artifactId>jta</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
I have also tried changing the scope of hibernate-entitymanager to "provided", in which case my project should be using JBoss 6's provided hibernate libraries, but when I do that I get this exception:
Caused by: java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Class org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence does not implement the requested interface javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider
at org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.createNativeEntityManagerFactory(LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.java:225) [:3.0.5.RELEASE]

at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.invokeInitMethods(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1477) [:3.0.5.RELEASE]
I have also tried removing the hibernate libraries from $JBOSS_HOME/common/lib, but then the server immediately halts with this exception:

I've tried using this jboss-classloading-domain.xml in my WEB-INF directory, but it seems to have no effect:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classloading-domain xmlns="urn:jboss:classloading-domain:1.0"
name="MyDomain">
<parent-policy>
<before-filter>
<javabean xmlns="urn:jboss:javabean:2.0"
class="org.jboss.classloader.plugins.filter.NegatingClassFilter">

<parameter>
<javabean xmlns="urn:jboss:javabean:2.0"
class="org.jboss.classloader.spi.filter.RecursivePackageClassFilter">
<constructor>
<parameter>org.hibernate</parameter>
</constructor>
</javabean>
</parameter>
</constructor>
</javabean>
</before-filter>
</parent-policy>
</classloading-domain>
I do get further when I remove just the hibernate-validator-legacy.jar from common/lib - but I really don't want to modify the stock JBoss installation.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
