NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/bytecode/internal/javassist/FieldHandler with hibernate 5.1

[yorl1n]

I have just updated jackson-datatype-hibernate5 to the version 2.7.1 and hibernate to v. 5.1.0.Final
and get the error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/bytecode/internal/javassist/FieldHandler
As I can see from commit
hibernate/hibernate-orm@472f4ab

the file org.hibernate.bytecode.internal.javassist.FieldHandler was removed.

Here is stacktrace:

Thank you for reporting this. Looks like handling needs to be improved here. I assume 5.0.x of Hibernate still had this class... perhaps 5.1 has it moved to a different package.

[cowtowncoder]

Hmmh. Ok. So no replacement. I wish I knew whether handling is needed for 5.0.x itself either.
But I guess changing code to optionally include this may not be too bad. Would just be nice to know if it was fully obsolete so could remove.

Is this fixed in 2.7.1 or will it be in 2.7.2?

[cowtowncoder]

@heruan It will be in 2.7.2.

I use HIBERNATE 5.2.4 and tried different versions of jackson-datatype-hibernate but the error is still present!

[yorl1n]

Do you use jackson-datatype-hibernate5 or jackson-datatype-hibernate? I use 5.2.4.Final and 2.8.4 and everything works properly.

[zhasulan]

I just realized this, thank you!
