I'm trying to deploy my application on OpenShift (JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6) and I get the NoSuchMethodError mentioned in the title. So I googled the whole thing and found a few articles or threads that mentioned that this Method is available since JPA-API 2.1. I found out that a dependency that is necessary for Openshift contains the JPA-API 2.0. I tried to exclude this dependency but it does not work. Any ideas? Please find the pom.xml below.
