Google Cloud SQL, Hibernate JPA Support

With my last post about Google Cloud SQL(Google App Engine) with Spring Hibernate, many people had encountered the same issue about HIbenrate JPA. If you are developing Hibernate JPA based applications,there is some issues with Hibernate JPA support which you need to be awared.

When you are running the application you may get an error like this:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceUnitInfo.getValidationMode()Ljavax/persistence/ValidationMode;

This is because Hibernate used JPA 2.0 specification. But Google App Engine only support JPA 1.0 specification. I also got the same issue, and therefore I used Spring Hibernate support (instead of Hibernate JPA).

"The App Engine Java SDK includes an implementation of JPA 1.0 for the App Engine datastore"
