Why I am getting java.lang.NoSuchMethodError in loading applicationContext in JBoss7.1.EAP

I am getting the following error, when I am trying to deploy an ear into dev server where its published to JBoss7.1.EAP. The error is coming at the start of the server.
This error is not coming when I am trying to deploy in local JBOSS server.
This is coming when I am trying to deploy to remote server.
The application is in Spring5 Hibernate, the ear contains a war file and an ejb jar .

The war file contains the relevant jars in WEB-INF/lib folder

Hi you have two versions of jaxb-impl in your WEB-INF folder. One version is 2.0.5 and another version is 2.2.7. You need to remove the older version from your dependencies.
Also you have jaxb-api-2.1 in your dependencies.You need 2.2 version.
All in all looking through the contents of your WEB-INF lib you have a lot of libraries which are duplicated with different version. You need to do some clean up I believe.

As the log says it can't load org/sakaiproject/lessonbuildertool/simplepageitem.hbm.xml
Check whether it exists and has correct structure.

I had this same problem when installing Sakai 2.9.3 on Linux (so it may not be the same problem after all). This message suggests that the cause is certain jar files being loaded by multiple class loaders. And indeed, I found that my Tomcat 7 tried to load a commons—dbcp—1.2.2.jar that comes with Sakai, but also /usr/share/tomcat7/lib/commons—dbcp.jar. I moved one of the two out of the way, but the error only went away (according to my installation log) after I switched from Java 1.6 to Java 7. You can configure which jar files will be loaded by which class loaders in Tomcat's conf/catalina.properties, but Sakai's documentation has a high voodoo factor for me at this point.

What is the cause and how can I fix it?

In case of large stacktraces, always head to the lastmost one for the real root cause:
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Error in allocating a connection. Cause: null
Thus, a connection cannot be obtained from the datasource. Apparently the datasource itself is null. You need to create a MySQL datasource in Glassfish. There are several ways:
By Glassfish admin console: http://www.albeesonline.com/blog/2008/08/06/creating-and-configuring-a-mysql-datasource-in-glassfish-application-server/
By commandline: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/felipegaucho/archive/2010/03/04/glassfish-v3-resources-administration-cli-tool-asadmin

Is it possible to have #EJB as generic type?

import javax.ejb.EJB;
public abstract class AbstractController<TEJB extends EntityEJB<TENTITY>, TENTITY extends EntityInterface> {
#EJB
protected TEJB ejb;
...
import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
#ManagedBean
#SessionScoped
public class UserController extends AbstractController<UserEJB, User> {
...
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
#Stateless
public abstract class EntityEJB<T extends EntityInterface> {
...
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
#Stateless
public class UserEJB extends EntityEJB<User> {
...
It compiles, deploys but whenever code goes into some EJB method, it throws:

If I change EJB from generic type to concrete class (UserEJB), it works well. I'm sorry if this is beginner question, I'm just starting with Java ...
Bozho noted that abstract class should not be annotated with #Stateless. This makes sense but then it seems to crash even earlier - because it cannot find EJB named "EntityEJB". Ok, it seems that in former case dependency injector tries to inject instance of EntityEJB (this is superclass of generics TEJB) which is abstract class which cannot be instantiated (and therefore not injected) and this causes exception "Could not create stateless EJB". Whole stacktrace wihtout #Stateless:

From the exception stacktrace I'd assume you don't have a no-arg constructor. Make sure you have one and try again. There should be a problem with generics.
Also, you shouldn't be able to make an abstract class a stateless bean. So remove the annotation from here:
#Stateless
public abstract class EntityEJB
Btw, you are trying to inject .. an annotation? You should annotate a real stateless bean interface with #EJB.

#EJB is a annotation used to inject it in your class. You cannot annotated it with a genneric class or your Container will not be able to find what instance should be used in this field.

Yes, it is possible. It compiles and it works (if you are using a solid EE application container like wildfly or weblogic).
Use the implements on the beans which implement the interface definition (the annotated with e.g. #Local). In the abstract class, you can implement all methods, which are shared among all bean implementations. Just don't place the #Override annotation on any of those methods.

Deployment problem on JBOSS server 5.0.1.GA

When I am deploying the same application on Tomcat 6.0 and Glassfish 3.0 it is working fine
but on JBOSS server I am getting the below error. Please give specific solution.How can i programatically remove the hibernate-validator.jar of jBoss making some entry in xml files as I can't remove that jar from jBoss manually everytime....

I solved this problem adding this two properties in my hibernate config.
<property name="hibernate.validator.apply_to_ddl">false</property>
<property name="hibernate.validator.autoregister_listeners">false</property>

the likely cause of this is that JBoss has its own internal copy of Hibernate, along with Hibernate Search and Hibernate Validator.
If your application also has its own copy of Hibernate in its lib directory, and this is a different version to that held inside JBoss, then the risk is that they'll clash. Specifically, Hibernate will attempt to auto-discover the Validator and Search libraries, and if there is a version clash, this is the result.
The simplest thing to do is to disable the auto-discovery of Hibernate Search and Validator, by adding these to your hibernate properties inside the application:
hibernate.validator.autoregister_listeners=false
hibernate.search.autoregister_listeners=false

This issue is caused since JBoss is shipped with hibernate 3.3 libraries. I had the same error message and fixed it by deleting hibernate-validator.jar from {JBOSS_HOME}/common/lib/ folder. Just make sure that your application is shipped with correct version of hibernate-validator.jar file.
I know this is not actually a solution but I have gone through JBoss forum threads 573076 and 621877; tried the jboss-classloading.xml solution as described in here.. None of these helped me resolve the issue..
Further materials on jboss-classloading.xml, in case any one needs are here,here and here.

Make sure there is no hibernate on the classpath of jboss. Jboss typically comes with hibernate libraries built in which can cause these kinds of conflicts.

Only remove, following set of jar files from common/lib
1. hibernate-annotations.jar
2. hibernate-commons-annotations.jar
3. hibernate-entitymanager.jar
4. hibernate-validator.jar
