Charles Odili [https://community.jboss.org/people/chaluwa] created the discussion "Hibernate Configuration Issues" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/798688#798688 -------------------------------------------------------------- I have an Errai KitchenSink based project to stretch my hands, but after creating my hibernate.cfg.xml file which I placed inside src/java/main/resources the project fails to deploy to my JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final instance. I get hibernate exceptions complaining about not been able to parse the .cfg.xml file. Several Googling has not really helped either. I have attached the hibernate.cfg.xml file and the persistence.xml file as well. Here is the error stack trace : 00:46:38,421 WARN  [org.jboss.as.dependency.private] (MSC service thread 1-5) JBAS018567: Deployment "deployment.LibConsole.war" is using a private module ("org.jboss.as.server:main") which may be changed or removed in future versions without notice. 00:46:38,532 INFO  [org.jboss.weld.deployer] (MSC service thread 1-4) JBAS016002: Processing weld deployment LibConsole.war 00:46:38,943 INFO  [org.jboss.weld.deployer] (MSC service thread 1-6) JBAS016005: Starting Services for CDI deployment: LibConsole.war 00:46:38,992 INFO  [org.jboss.weld.Version] (MSC service thread 1-6) WELD-000900 1.1.5 (AS71) 00:46:39,030 INFO  [org.jboss.as.jpa] (MSC service thread 1-7) JBAS011402: Starting Persistence Unit Service 'LibConsole.war#LibConsole' 00:46:39,259 INFO  [org.hibernate.annotations.common.Version] (MSC service thread 1-7) HCANN000001: Hibernate Commons Annotations {4.0.1.Final} 00:46:39,268 INFO  [org.hibernate.Version] (MSC service thread 1-7) HHH000412: Hibernate Core {4.0.1.Final} 00:46:39,271 INFO  [org.hibernate.cfg.Environment] (MSC service thread 1-7) HHH000206: hibernate.properties not found 00:46:39,273 INFO  [org.hibernate.cfg.Environment] (MSC service thread 1-7) HHH000021: Bytecode provider name : javassist 00:46:39,369 INFO  [org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration] (MSC service thread 1-7) HHH000204: Processing PersistenceUnitInfo [           name: LibConsole           ...] 00:46:39,452 INFO  [org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration] (MSC service thread 1-7) HHH000043: Configuring from resource: hibernate.cfg.xml 00:46:39,452 INFO  [org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration] (MSC service thread 1-7) HHH000040: Configuration resource: hibernate.cfg.xml 00:46:39,513 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-7) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.persistenceunit."LibConsole.war#LibConsole": org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.persistenceunit."LibConsole.war#LibConsole": Failed to start service           at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1767) [jboss-msc-1.0.2.GA.jar:1.0.2.GA]           at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) [rt.jar:1.7.0_13]           at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) [rt.jar:1.7.0_13]           at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722) [rt.jar:1.7.0_13] Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Could not parse configuration: hibernate.cfg.xml           at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.doConfigure(Configuration.java:2010)           at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:1922)           at org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration.configure(Ejb3Configuration.java:1042)           at org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration.configure(Ejb3Configuration.java:692)           at org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(HibernatePersistence.java:72)           at org.jboss.as.jpa.service.PersistenceUnitServiceImpl.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(PersistenceUnitServiceImpl.java:162)           at org.jboss.as.jpa.service.PersistenceUnitServiceImpl.start(PersistenceUnitServiceImpl.java:85)           at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.startService(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1811) [jboss-msc-1.0.2.GA.jar:1.0.2.GA]           at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1746) [jboss-msc-1.0.2.GA.jar:1.0.2.GA]           ... 3 more Caused by: org.dom4j.DocumentException: org.dom4j.DocumentFactory cannot be cast to org.dom4j.DocumentFactory Nested exception: org.dom4j.DocumentFactory cannot be cast to org.dom4j.DocumentFactory           at org.dom4j.io.SAXReader.read(SAXReader.java:484)           at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.doConfigure(Configuration.java:2002)           ... 11 more 00:46:39,735 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 2) JBAS015870: Deploy of deployment "LibConsole.war" was rolled back with failure message {"JBAS014671: Failed services" => {"jboss.persistenceunit.\"LibConsole.war#LibConsole\"" => "org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.persistenceunit.\"LibConsole.war#LibConsole\": Failed to start service"}} 00:46:39,797 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-6) JBAS015877: Stopped deployment LibConsole.war in 62ms 00:46:39,800 INFO  [org.jboss.as.controller] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 2) JBAS014774: Service status report JBAS014777:   Services which failed to start:      service jboss.persistenceunit."LibConsole.war#LibConsole": org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.persistenceunit."LibConsole.war#LibConsole": Failed to start service 00:46:39,805 ERROR [org.jboss.as.server.deployment.scanner] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 1) {"JBAS014653: Composite operation failed and was rolled back.
