Problem
In Hibernate development, it’s common to hits the following error message.
SEVERE: Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:
Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource
[/WEB-INF/classes/config/database/spring/HibernateSessionFactory.xml]:

Solution
The “Unable to instantiate default tuplizer [org.hibernate.tuple.entity.PojoEntityTuplizer” is a generic error message, it may caused by many reasons. So, you have to look at the last line that caused the error.
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter
The main cause is the old asm.jar library e.g ‘asm-1.5.3.jar’, just upgrade the asm library to the most recent version will get rid of the error message. e.g, ‘asm-3.1.jar’.
tried with:
org.hibernate
hibernate
3.2.3.ga
asm
asm-all
3.1
com.sun.corba
glassfish-corba-asm
3.0.0-b004
still getting:
Initial SessionFactory creation failed.java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter.(I)V

wow thanks mkyong
Me salvaste la vida, gracias !!
Hi,
I’m using Hibernate with Restful web services. It gives me the above error. But when I tried to change the ASM version, the Jersey is not working. How can I solve this issue
Hoping for a kind response.
Thank you
thank you so much, was hitting the wall, but now it’s got solved 😉
if it’s happen on Glassfish V2.2…
you cant try it.

if page it´s no available:
The simple solution is to manually delete the “asm-3.1.jar” file in the /lib/ directory and copy an old version of “asm-.jar” in its place. We simply copied the asm.jar that was included as a dependency in our download of the Hibernate framework.
Thanks for your inputs on Glassfish.
Thank you!
Graceful!
Awesomeeeeee it really works!! Thanx a lot!!
Great it worked for me!
particularly the advice..
The “Unable to instantiate default tuplizer [org.hibernate.tuple.entity.PojoEntityTuplizer” is a generic error message, it may caused by many reasons. So, you have to look at the last line that caused the error.
So looked at the last cause by which said…
Caused by: org.hibernate.PropertyNotFoundException: Could not find a getter for person in class springapp.domain.Schooldetails
(but when the source file was checked the propery did exist!!! What’s going on here. I was using hibernate tools from jboss and thought may be there’s some sort of class caching going around and rebuilt the whole project and walla!.. it worked.)
Thanks for the solution. You saved my day.
Thanks, that’s it 🙂
