Spring 2.5.1 and Xfire 1.2.6 - NoSuchMethodError: <init>

Question

Hi all,

Trying to integrate Spring 2.5.5 with Xfire 1.2.6, I'm attempting to inject one of my beans into my service but it's failing on initialisation with the following exception:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: <init>
        at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.processRequest(FrameworkServlet.java:420)
        at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.doPost(FrameworkServlet.java:357)
        at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:763)
        at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856)
        at weblogic.servlet.internal.StubSecurityHelper$ServletServiceAction.run(StubSecurityHelper.java:227)
        Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace

I get this as soon as I send my first request to the service via SoapUI. I've been googling and struggling for days with this now and I'd love some help :)

Here's my web.xml:

</web-app>

and my applicationContext.xml:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
 xsi:schemaLocation="

 </bean>

 <bean id="app.appService" class="com.moo.app.app">
     <property name="membershipDetailsService" ref="app.MembershipDetails" />
 </bean>
</beans>

and finally, my xfire-servlet.xml:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"

 <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
  <property name="urlMap">
   <map>
    <entry key="/services/app/">
     <ref bean="app.appService"/>
    </entry>
   </map>
  </property>
 </bean>

 <!-- Declare a parent bean with all properties common to both services -->
 <bean id="echo" class="org.codehaus.xfire.spring.remoting.XFireExporter">
  <property name="serviceFactory">
   <ref bean="xfire.serviceFactory"/>
  </property>
  <property name="xfire">

  </property>
  <property name="serviceBean">
   <ref bean="app.appService"/>
  </property>
  <property name="serviceClass">
   <value>com.moo.app.app.appService</value>
  </property>
 </bean>
</beans>

No idea why this is occuring. The JARs I'm using are as follows:

• activation-1.1.jar
• app-SNAPSHOT.jar
• commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar
• commons-codec-1.3.jar
• commons-collections.jar
• commons-digester.jar
• commons-fileupload.jar
• commons-httpclient-3.0.1.jar
• commons-lang.jar

• ojdbc14.jar
• saaj-api-1.3.jar

• xfire-jaxws-1.2.6.jar
• xfire-jsr181-api-1.0-M1.jar
• xfire-spring-1.2.6.jar
• XmlSchema-1.1.jar

I'm deploying this on Weblogic 8.2 as a WAR file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

It seems you have version mismatch in your spring jars - the spring is 2.5.1 and the spring web mvc is the (rather old) 1.2.6. Why not move both of them to the latest 2.5.6.SEC01?
