AbstractMethodError thrown by org.hibernate.internal.SessionFactoryImpl.<init> when upgrading from Spring Boot 1.3 to 1.4 RC1

Question

I have a pretty simple Spring Boot 1.3 app and I'm trying to upgrade to 1.4 RC1. There's nothing that not pretty much out of the box configuration. When I try and start the app or run tests, I get the following:

12:06:27.237 [QUIET] [system.out] org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.AbstractMethodError

My entry point class looks like this:

@SpringBootApplication
public class NotificationsApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(NotificationsApplication.class, args);
    }
}

My Database config looks like this:

spring:
  datasource:
    url: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/notifications
    username: ----
    password: ----
    driverClassName: org.postgresql.Driver
  jpa:
    properties:
      hibernate:
        format_sql: true
    database-platform: org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
    hibernate:
      ddl-auto: create-drop
    generate-ddl: true

I've read through all the changelogs for the 1.4 milestones and RC1 and I can't find anything that suggests something I have has changed to cause it not to start.

Dependencies from build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
    compile('org.springframework:spring-tx')
    compile('javax.el:javax.el-api:3.0.0')
    compile('com.google.guava:guava:19.0')
    compile('com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-hibernate5:2.8.1')
    compile("com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype:jackson-datatype-joda:2.7.5")
    compile('joda-time:joda-time:2.9.4')
    compile('org.jadira.usertype:usertype.core:4.0.0.GA')
    compile('com.h2database:h2')
    runtime('org.postgresql:postgresql:9.4.1208')
    testCompile('junit:junit')
    testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
    testCompile('com.jayway.jsonpath:json-path')
}

Answer 1

I think that the problem is this dependency:

compile('org.jadira.usertype:usertype.core:4.0.0.GA')

It contains 3 classes that implement org.hibernate.integrator.spi.Integrator:

• UserTypeJodaTimeHibernateIntegrator
• UserTypeJodaMoneyHibernateIntegrator
• UserTypeLegacyJdkMoneyHibernateIntegrator

The 5.0.0.GA release of Jadira contains a change that "Fixed Integrator behaviour under Hibernate 5" so it looks like upgrading will fix the problem:

compile('org.jadira.usertype:usertype.core:5.0.0.GA')
