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:
