ParentLast setting is present in WebSphere configuration for our application so that WebSphere should give preference to the jars present in the WEB-INF/lib of our application
There is a similar method where #Valid is not present which works properly.
I looked into similar question on the stack overflow however could not quite get the correct solution.
What should be the correct solution?
Should we remove any jars from our WEB-INF/lib?

Answer 1

To fix this problem, you need to add the HibernatePersistenceProviderResolver class to your project:
HibernatePersistenceProviderResolver.java
and register it in the Application class in the onStartup method
#Override
public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {
HibernatePersistenceProviderResolver.register();
...
}
