Hibernate C3P0ConnectionProvider not picked up

I am trying to configure C3P0 connection pool for my hibernate application.
I am using below dependencies.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
<version>5.5.6.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-c3p0</artifactId>
<version>5.5.6.Final</version>
</dependency>
I added below configs in my hibernate.cft.xml
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.min_size">5</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_size">20</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.acquire_increment">5</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout">1800</property>
But I get the warning below:
WARN: HHH000022: c3p0 properties were encountered, but the c3p0 provider class was not found on the classpath; these properties are going to be ignored
If I explicitly specify the provider class like given below, it works.
<property name="hibernate.connection.provider_class">org.hibernate.c3p0.internal.C3P0ConnectionProvider</property>
But the documentation of the above class says it should be picked by default.
A connection provider that uses a C3P0 connection pool. Hibernate will
use this by default if the hibernate.c3p0.* properties are set.
Why is this not class picked up by default? Is it correct to explicitly specify org.hibernate.c3p0.internal.C3P0ConnectionProvider? It looks like org.hibernate.connection.C3P0ConnectionProvider is the class which is picked up by default, and most of the references found in the web are regarding it, but it is not available in the above mentioned maven dependencies.

Remove hibernate. from the property name, it should be:
<property name="connection.provider_class">org.hibernate.connection.C3P0ConnectionProvider</property>

Java Security Policy Preventing Access to Maven Resource Files

I'm currently working on a Maven based project in Eclipse which I want to connect to a database using Hibernate + JPA. I have created a persistence.xml file and placed it in the directory <project>/src/main/resources/META-INF. When I run the application it will throw the very known exception No Persistence provider for EntityManager named
The contents of my persistence.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.1"
xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence
http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="NetworkMonDB">
<provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
<exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>
<properties>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="validate" />
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
How I'm initializing this in my application:
public void initializeDatabase(){
final HashMap<String, String> dbConfig = new HashMap<String, String>();
dbConfig.put("javax.persistence.jdbc.url", this.properties.getProperty("database.uri"));
dbConfig.put("javax.persistence.jdbc.user", this.properties.getProperty("database.usr"));
dbConfig.put("javax.persistence.jdbc.password", this.properties.getProperty("database.psw"));
final EntityManagerFactory factory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("NetworkMonDB", dbConfig); //exception thrown at this point.
this.entityManager = factory.createEntityManager();
}
And here are my Maven Dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
<version>5.2.4.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
<version>5.2.4.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>5.3.2.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.1-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<version>6.0.5</version>
</dependency>
I conducted some further tests (see edits for previous comments on identifying the problem) and it seems the problem comes from my currently used security policy. While I have a security policy file to use when the application is built and packaged in a jar file, I do not have one that will work inside the Eclipse IDE. As soon as I figure out what the best way to configure the security policy I will post it as an answer, unless someone else has an answer.

The problem as described above was caused by a handling of the security policy and security manager. Since this application will eventually read from the hard drive, and work with RMI I need to use a security manager and security policy. However, when working inside the IDE you don't actually need to set a codebase value in the security policy file.
My current solution is to have this as my development area security policy:
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
}
And then the security policy in use when I deploy my application would look like this:
grant codeBase "file:./MyApplication.jar" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
}
I know that eventually I will need to provide a better more specific security policy for deployment that grants specific permissions to specific file locations and network values, but this should get me going until then.

No persistence provider for EntityManager for Hibernate in Maven

I am getting this error:
Exception in thread "main" javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named tarefas at
javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:61)
My jars is okay, as you seem in the pom.xml
My main class:
import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
import javax.persistence.Persistence;
public class GeraTabelas {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EntityManagerFactory factory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("tarefas");
factory.close();
}
}
pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
<version>5.2.2.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>

persistence.xml
<persistence-unit name="tarefas">

<!-- entidade mapeada -->
<class>br.com.abc.models.Usuario</class>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url" value= .... //The rest of properties...
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
It may be the position of the pom.xml file in the wrong location? I did this way because of others posts that said it was this way but this interrogation point appears in the folders and I am beginner in Maven to know what it is.
Thanks.

Embedded H2 Database Connection Error - wrong username and password

I'm struggling with Hibernate, JavaEE Persistence and an embedded H2-Database.
I've got the following section in my persistence.xml:
<persistence-unit name="iot_pu">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="org.h2.Driver"/>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:h2:/tmp/databases/iot;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE;MVCC=true"/>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect"/>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create"/>
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
I get the following stack trace:

If I test the connection with IntelliJ it says that the connection works without problems - no username or password.
The line that causes the problem (AbstractTestSuite.java:22) says
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("iot_pu");
Can it be the case, that I've forgot something to import via Maven?

You are missing hibernate.connection.username and hibernate.connection.password properties in your persistence.xml, or you can insert them directly in your connection URL (example: "jdbc:oracle:thin:user/password#127.0.0.1:1521:SMIDVINT").

Test your connection with this to make sure your setting is correct :
/**
* Connect to H2db.
* calling example: connect("jdbc:h2:/Resources/databases/dbName", "JohnD", "secret")
*/
public static Connection connect (String dbPath, String userName, String password)
throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException, JdbcSQLException {
Class.forName("org.h2.Driver");
String dbURL= dbPath + ";IGNORECASE=TRUE;MODE=MySQL;IFEXISTS=TRUE";
return DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL,userName,password);
}

How to use TomEE with Hibernate

I have created very simple app with persistence context (hibernate as provider) to read some value from database. I use Eclipse with Maven.
First, I get
Caused by: org.apache.openejb.OpenEJBException: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence cannot be cast to javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider:
and according to this topic
http://openejb.979440.n4.nabble.com/problem-with-hibernate-persistence-provider-td980429.html
I excluded hibernate-jpa-2.0-api. Now, my dependencies look
<dependency>
<groupId>postgresql</groupId>
<artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
<version>9.1-901.jdbc4</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
<version>4.1.3.Final</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.0-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Now, I don't know why...
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.transaction.TransactionManagerLookup
But TransactionManagerLookup is in hibernate-core.
Please, can anybody tell me, how should look pom.xml to use hibernate in TomEE?

1. Copy the required Hibernate .jars to <tomee-home>/lib
According to the documentation ( http://tomee.apache.org/tomee-and-hibernate.html ), the following ones are sufficient and in fact they worked for me:
<tomee-home>/lib/antlr-2.7.7.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/hibernate-commons-annotations-4.0.2.Final.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/hibernate-core-4.2.21.Final.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/hibernate-entitymanager-4.2.21.Final.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/hibernate-validator-4.3.2.Final.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/javassist-3.18.1-GA.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/jboss-logging-3.1.0.GA.jar
All these .jars are contained in the Hibernate ORM 4.2.x download ( http://hibernate.org/orm/ ), except for the Hibernate Validator, which is a separate download ( http://hibernate.org/validator/ ).
2. Edit your pom.xml
Using the javaee-api maven artifact with a scope of provided you can now use the JPA specification in your project. However, if you have been using some Hibernate specific features, classes or annotations before, you can still refer to Hibernate in your pom.xml to match those dependencies:
<!-- JPA spec (required) -->
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.openejb</groupId>
<artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
<version>6.0-4</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<!-- Hibernate specific features (only if needed) -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
<version>4.2.21.Final</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
3. Define your database connection
Edit <tomee-home>/conf/tomee.xml:
<Resource id="myJtaDatabase" type="DataSource">
JdbcDriver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
JdbcUrl jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/my_dbname?autoReconnect=true
UserName foo
Password bar
validationQuery = SELECT 1
JtaManaged true
</Resource>
You can also put the above <Resource>...</Resource> definition into WEB-INF/resources.xml and ship it with your application instead:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- Put <Resource> elements here -->
<resources>
4. JTA Datasource
Now that you told TomEE how to establish a connection, define a JTA datasource in /src/main/java/META-INF/persistence.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="my_persistence_unit">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<jta-data-source>java:openejb/Resource/myJtaDatabase</jta-data-source>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect" />
<!-- As many hibernate properties as you need, some examples: -->
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="false" />
<property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true" />
<!-- Drop and then re-create the database schema (don't do this in production) -->
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
5. Start using JPA
Obtain an EntityManager in a CDI bean or EJB like this:
#PersistenceContext(unitName = "my_persistence_unit")
private EntityManager em;
Final Notes
Hibernate versions 4.3+
I am using Hibernate 4.2.21 (JPA 2.0, Java EE 6) along with TomEE 1.7.2. Any TomEE 1.7.x, 1.6.x and 1.5.x will work. However, you cannot use Hibernate 4.3+ (JPA 2.1 / Java EE 7), as TomEE 1.7.x and below only support Java EE 6. If you really want to use Java EE 7 features along with TomEE, this blog post might be helpful: http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/2013/07/19/little-tip-to-help-you-to-test-javaee-7-in-tomee-with-tomee-maven-plugin/
TomEE 1.5.x
TomEE 1.5.x already includes a javassist-<version>.jar, so you don't have to copy one.

Try this:
Add:
<tomee-home>/lib/antlr-2.7.7.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/ehcache-core-2.5.1.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/ehcache-terracotta-2.5.1.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/hibernate-commons-annotations-4.0.1.Final.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/hibernate-core-4.1.4.Final.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/hibernate-ehcache-4.1.4.Final.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/hibernate-entitymanager-4.1.4.Final.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/hibernate-validator-4.3.0.Final.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/jboss-logging-3.1.0.GA.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/terracotta-toolkit-1.4-runtime-4.1.0.jar
The ehcache jars might be optional, but haven't tried without them.
Remove (optional):
<tomee-home>/lib/asm-3.2.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/bval-core-0.4.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/bval-jsr303-0.4.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/commons-lang-2.6.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/openjpa-2.2.0.jar
<tomee-home>/lib/serp-1.13.1.jar

yes just dropping the hibernate-jpa-2.1-api-1.0.0.Final.jar into the TomEE lib folder worked for me.
