Amazon Web Services - nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.MutablePropertyValues.add

Question

I am getting the following error while deploying .war file in Amazon Web Services - ElasticBeanStalk.

nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.MutablePropertyValues.add(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)Lorg/springframework/beans/MutablePropertyValues;

But in my local eclipse workspace it is working fine. I am creating the .war by eclipse "export" option (not mavil build). Below in my pom.xml

http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> 4.0.0 Temp123 Temp123 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT war

Can you change the following dependencies and let me know if it worked? You should be careful with using different dependency versions.

Also, can you remove the spring dependency and see if that does anything?
