[Fixed]-"class org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.springhibernatejpapersistenceprovider does not implement the requested interface jakarta.persistence.spi.persistenceprovider"

Worked for me by changing Hibernate to version 5.6.9.Final (or any higher 5.6.x):

<hibernate.version>5.6.9.Final</hibernate.version>

I solved the error by changing my javax.persistence package to jakarta.persistence. So my class Task ended up like this:

        
            package com.taskManager.Entities;

            import java.time.LocalDateTime;

            import jakarta.persistence.Column;
            import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
            import jakarta.persistence.FetchType;
            import jakarta.persistence.GeneratedValue;
            import jakarta.persistence.GenerationType;
            import jakarta.persistence.Id;
            import jakarta.persistence.ManyToOne;

            @Entity(name = "task")
            public class Task {

                @Id
                @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
                private Long id;

                @Column(nullable = false)
                private String name;

                @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
                //@JoinColumn(name = "user_id")
                //private User user;
                private String description;
                private LocalDateTime date;

                public Task(Long id, String name, String description, LocalDateTime date) {
                    super();
                    this.id = id;
                    this.name = name;
                    this.description = description;
                    this.date = date;
                }

                public Long getId() {
                    return id;
                }

                public void setId(Long id) {
                    this.id = id;
                }

                public String getName() {
                    return name;
                }

                public void setName(String name) {
                    this.name = name;
                }

                public String getDescription() {
                    return description;
                }

                public void setDescription(String description) {
                    this.description = description;
                }

                public LocalDateTime getDate() {
                    return date;
                }

                public void setDate(LocalDateTime date) {
                    this.date = date;
                }

                public Task(String name, String description, LocalDateTime date) {
                    super();
                    this.name = name;
                    this.description = description;
                    this.date = date;
                }
            }
        
    

I also had to remove the hibernate, jakarta, and javax dependencies in my pom.xml:

Solution for "Class Does Not Implement Interface" Error

The error message "Class org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.SpringHibernateJpaPersistenceProvider does not implement the requested interface jakarta.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider" typically occurs when there's a compatibility issue between Spring ORM and the Jakarta Persistence API (formerly known as Java Persistence API or JPA).

Possible Causes:

• Version mismatch between Spring ORM and Jakarta Persistence API.
• Use of deprecated or incompatible classes/interfaces from previous versions of Spring or Jakarta Persistence API.
• Incorrect configuration or dependency conflicts in the application.

Solution:

1. Update Dependencies: Ensure that you're using compatible versions of Spring ORM and Jakarta Persistence API. Check the compatibility matrix or documentation of both frameworks to determine the supported versions.
2. Use Jakarta Persistence API Interfaces: Update your code to use interfaces from the jakarta.persistence.spi package instead of the deprecated javax.persistence.spi package. For example, replace javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider with jakarta.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider.
3. Check Spring Configuration: Review your Spring configuration files (e.g., applicationContext.xml) and ensure that the correct beans and dependencies are defined. Make sure that any references to persistence providers are updated to use the Jakarta Persistence API interfaces.
4. Dependency Exclusion: If you're using Maven or Gradle for dependency management, consider excluding any conflicting dependencies that might be pulling in incompatible versions of Spring ORM or Jakarta Persistence API.
5. Upgrade to Spring 5: If you're using an older version of Spring, consider upgrading to Spring 5 or later, which has better support for Jakarta Persistence API.
6. Check Documentation: Refer to the documentation of both Spring ORM and Jakarta Persistence API for any specific migration guides or compatibility notes. These resources can provide valuable insights into resolving compatibility issues.

After applying the above steps and ensuring compatibility between Spring ORM and Jakarta Persistence API, rebuild your application and test to verify that the error no longer occurs.
