Spring RestTemplate依赖错误

Question

I am trying to implement Spring RestTemplate into my exsting Spring REST Web application. I tried that:

...
private final String BASE_URL = "http://localhost:8080/a";
private final RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
...
Map<String, String> x = new HashMap<String, String>();
x.put("hotel", "42");
x.put("booking", "21");
String result = restTemplate.getForObject(BASE_URL + "/y/2", String.class, x);

I am using 3.0.5.RELEASE as my Spring version. Does it enough to add just one dependency for RestTemplate I added that but I get error:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
   <artifactId>org.springframework.web</artifactId>
   <version>3.0.0.M1</version>
</dependency>

My application works however after I add just that dependency I get that error:

Looks like org.springframework.web 3.0.0.M1 imports old version of spring-beans JAR and overrides the newer one. Try adding:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.springframework.web</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0.M1</version>
    <exclusion>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>org.springframework.beans</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
</dependency>

Or better, why aren't you using org.springframework.web in 3.0.5.RELEASE version like the rest of your project?
