Can't find method javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaBuilder - Hibernate 3.5.1-Final

[sam White]

Hello,

With Maven, Spring 3, Hibernate 3.5.1-Final and Tomcat 6.0.8, when I deployed the war file to Tomcat application server,
it thrown the following exception:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.EntityManager.getCriteriaBuilder()Ljavax/persistence/criteria/CriteriaBuilder;
        at com.ix.msp.persistence.jpa.AbstractFacade.findAll(AbstractFacade.java:56)
        at com.ix.msp.domain.loader.VocabularyLoader.afterPropertiesSet(VocabularyLoader.java:88)
        at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.invokeInitMethods(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1469)
        at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.initializeBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1409)
        ... 38 more

The offending line in AbstractFacade.java file is:

public List<T> findAll() {
    Line 56:	CriteriaBuilder cb = getEntityManager().getCriteriaBuilder();
    Line 66:    javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQuery<T> cq = cb.createQuery(entityClass);
    Line 67:    cq.select(cq.from(entityClass));
    Line 68:    return getEntityManager().createQuery(cq).getResultList();
    }

pom.xml file:
