java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.log4j.Logger.log(Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/apach

[rameshraj]

I got the following error
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.log4j.Logger.log(Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/apache/log4j/Level;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V

while trying the Annotations.
I am using the jar files as:
hibernate-annotations.jar-3.4.0
hibernate-commons-annotations.jar-3.4.0
log4j.jar-1.2.15
slf4j-log4j13-1.0.jar
slf4j-api.jar 3.4.0

I have one utils class as:

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration;

public class HibernateUtil {
  private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;
  static {
    try {
      // Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
      sessionFactory = new AnnotationConfiguration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
    } catch (Throwable ex) {
      // Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
      System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
      throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
    }
  }

  public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
    return sessionFactory;
  }
}

The flow is always catched in the line:

sessionFactory = new AnnotationConfiguration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

and gives the above mentioned error. I am beginner in the hibernate field.
Please let me know what is the problem and how could it be solved.
Thanks,

log4j.jar-1.2.15
slf4j-log4j13-1.0.jar

Seems like you are trying to use slf4j adapter for log4j 1.3 with log4j 1.2.
Full stack trace can tell this for sure.

[rameshraj]

do you have some idea on how to resolve this?

I am receiving this same error with my application and I am stumped too.

I am using log4j-1.2.8.jar which I read somewhere would fix this but no luck. I am also using jdk1.5.

When I run my program from the command line, my program errors out on the following line which I think is similar to your problem

Configuration cfg = new Configuration().configure("controlTable.cfg.xml");

My program works like a champ when I run it from MyEclipse, however when I compile it with ANT and deploy it to my server I get the same error.

Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: log (Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/apache/log4j/Level;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V

make sure you don't have any other entry for log4j.jar in your classpath.

My gut feeling says, your classpath refers to an earlier version of log4j.

I am using the log4j-1.2.8.jar file and that is my only reference.

I also am using commons-logging4.0.6.jar, does that have references to log4j properties?
