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

Hmmm, how can this happen if both you and JBossAS use the same Hibernate version?
