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.

    <dependency>
          <groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
          <artifactId>jta</artifactId>
          <version>1.1</version>
    </dependency>

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

JVM, JRE and JDK in Java

JVM, JRE and JDK are the most basic common concepts to know in java. These are the basic features to understand how Java architecture works? JVM stands for Java Virtual Machine, which doesn't have any physical directories created in java installation. JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment, which creates the directory under Java installation path and also present in JDK. JDK stands for Java Development Kit, which creates the directory in Java installation path and also it has it's own JRE. Since we have already learn that Java is platform independent means if we have implemented any of the java class in one environment, it will be executed in any other environment and provides the same output. But, JVM, JRE and JDK all are platform dependent . So that, for windows, linux, unix, mac, solaris..etc has it's own JVM, JRE and JDK. One will be not compatible with other environments. While installing the Java, we might come to know a bit about JRE and JDK. But, JVM is the other...

Prime, Fibonacci and Factorial number with example in java

Prime number, Fibonacci series and Factorial number programs are most commonly asked questions in interview. Read this article to know what is and how to write programs for prime number, fibonacci series and factorial number. Prime Number: prime number is natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisor other than 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 is not a prime number, is called Composite number . For example, 7 is a prime number. Because it can divide with 1 and 7 only. Where as 8 is composite number. Since it has the divisor 2 and 4 in addition to the 1 and 8. The below example represents the finding the passing number is prime number or not. If the passing number is prime number it will print true otherwise it will print false. package com . javatbrains . practice ; public class PrimeNumber { public boolean isPrimeNumber ( int number ) { if ( number <= 1 ) return false ; // There's only one ...
