Answer 1

I had same issue in my project. The root cause of this issue is you have to two version of spring. You can check the same thing inside your repository folder (org\\springframework\\spring-web) or (org\\springframework\\spring-webmvc). You can delete the one version from there. I have other project opened in same workspace which was referring to other version of spring. When I closed that other project and cleaned and built, that has resolved my issue.

Thanks Kapil

Mixing spring jars of different versions?

Answer 3

i think, you have older versions of spring jars (2.5) in your classpath. It can be either explicitly defined in your pom (if your project is a maven project) or some other frameworks can be dependent on these and added them automatically within. Using maven you can see more with:

$ mvn dependency:tree 

which shows you all dependencies in your project. Just remove these jars from your classpath (using exclusions http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Exclusions ) and try again.
