Add common-dbcp.jar to your classpath. You can get it from spring-framework\lib\jakarta-commons.

[gup.devesh]

I have already added the common-dbcp.jar file.
My error is removed if I add the following line

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.SingleConnecti onDataSource" destroy-method="destroy">

instead of

<bean id="dataSource"
class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
destroy-method="close">

in applicationContext.xml. You have any idea why it is so.

Thanks

you're posting this on the wrong forum, but it looks like a collision. Could it be that you have multiple versions on your classpath?
