Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/transaction/SystemException
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/transaction/SystemException error we got in Hibernate 4.3 to work with my MySQL database. We are using hibernate code generation tool in Eclipse and we are able to connect to the database using the Hibernate configuration file.
When we try to run code in my Main class application is connecting to the database, but transaction is failing and we got the following error:
The code in my Hibernate util is:
My hibernate.cfg.xml file looks like:
Root cause and Solution for this issue:
You are missing jta.jar in your project lib directory or in the classpath, for maven add this dependency in your pom.xml file.
or download JTA-<Version>.jar from maven repository and add to your CLASSPATH and lib directory.
The above solution is correct for Maven application. But in normal applications you just add a jar file called jta-<version>.jar.
If your using 3.x version, that is available under your downloading hibernate distribution jar's folder jta-<version>.jar.
If your using 4.x version, that is available under distribution folder path called dist/lib/provided/jta-<version>.jar
