Hibernate makes Weld not initializing in Java SE

Question

So, I have a basic Java SE program with dependency injection using Weld 1.2.

Everything is working fine, until I throw Hibernate into the mix, with the following pom.xml dependency entries:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax</groupId>
    <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
    <version>7.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.weld.se</groupId>
    <artifactId>weld-se</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.4.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.6.Final</version>
</dependency>

Hibernate being the added dependency, making it break. This is my entry class:

public class EntryPoint {
    public static void main( String[] ARGV ) {
        Weld weld = new Weld();
        WeldContainer container = weld.initialize();

        Application application = container.instance().select(Application.class).get();

        application.testFetch();

        weld.shutdown();
    }
}

When I try to run it after including Hibernate dependency, this is my output:

Line 24 in my EntryPoint class is: WeldContainer container = weld.initialize();

Answer 1

This has nothing to do with Hibernate. You're missing jandex from your classpath, which is required in Weld 2.2.x. Verify that you end up with a jandex 1.2 jar on your classpath after building.

Since you're using maven, add this to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss</groupId>
    <artifactId>jandex</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.2.Final</version>
</dependency>

Why is Hibernate 4.2 using jandex and classmate if its Maven POM defines them as test scope?

Thank you, that was the solution. – Lipoma

Answer 2

For people who have same issue with the latest versions of Weld and Hibernate:

Both Weld and Hibernate have dependency on Jandex but with different versions, you need to exclude Jandex dependency from the hibernates dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
    <version>${hibernate.version}</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.jboss</groupId>
            <artifactId>jandex</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

Good Luck

Upheld

Thanx a lot for these answers. For me it seems more clear to exclude the dependency from hibernate. However it appears to be necessary to explicitely add jandex as despendency as stated in the accepted answer. The solution also works for artifact hibernate-core instead of the now deprecated hibernate-entitymanager. Tested with hibernate-core 6.1.6.Final, weld-se-core 5.1.0 Final and jandex 3.0.5. – Responser
