java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/core/JdkVersion

Question

I am using Spring's JDBC template to write a DAO class for accessing data from the backend.
When I hit the URL, the following exception is thrown:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [cinestop] in context with path [/cinestop] threw exception [Handler dispatch failed; nested exception is

I have scooped the Internet for the cause of this error, but have been unable to decipher the cause of its occurrence.
Can anyone help me with what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Spring jdbc needs to be using 5.0.3.RELEASE , the same version as the rest of the Spring framework you've added

It'd be easier to manage those if you defined the Spring version as a property in the pom, then reference that in the dependencies
