error initializing multiple configuration files

Question

Hi,

during initialization startup on tomcat, the configurations are:

1. a webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml that imports yummy-servlet.xml in contextConfigLocation (although i'm aware that is not required since the servlet-name is yummy it will try to load yummy-servlet.xml by default)
2. a webapp/WEB-INF/yummy-servlet.xml that imports a spring/applicationContext-hibernate.xml file
3. a webapp/WEB-INF/spring/applicationContext-hibernate.xml that imports a applicationContext-dataSource.xml file

4. a webapp/WEB-INF/spring/applicationContext-dataSource.xml

   i'm getting errors about Failed to import bean definitions from relative location, but the stack trace is not very explicit about exactly what is the problem, i've been looking at these since yesterday and i really don't see any problem on the files

my web.xml:

Answer 1

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError usually says about version incompatibilities. Since org.springframework.beans.MutablePropert yValues.add(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)Lorg/springframework/beans/Muta blePropertyValues; was added in Spring 3.0, you probably mixed Spring 3.0 and pre-3.0 jars.

Answer 2

Your pom.xml looks fine and there is no spring dependencies other than 3.0.0.RELEASE as shown by the dependency:tree pasted below:

However, the java.lang.NoSuchMethodError clearly smells a classloading issue and somehow, you must have multiple spring jars somewhere. Did you change the spring version without performing a mvn clean? Or maybe in your $CATALINA_HOME/lib??
