Spring 1.1.2 JDK version requirement

[klr8]

Could somebody give the exact JDK version requirements of the Spring 1.1.2 release?

The thing is that I get the following error on a WebSphere 5.0 server (J2RE 1.3.1 IBM Windows 32 build cn131-20021107 (JIT enabled: jitc), Java Compiler = jitc, Java VM name = Classic VM):

With Spring 1.1.1 this worked perfectly. So it seems that you now need JDK 1.4 iso 1.3?

Should this be reported in JIRA as a bug?

Erwin,

This is a problem with Spring 1.1.2 only. It has been fixed in CVS and will be released in version 1.1.3.

Hi,

I am getting the same error, but with WebLogic Server 6.1 (JDK131). I want to clearly state that I get this error with no code of mine: It appears when the WebLogic Server is starting up (and the web application with the ContextLoaderListener/ContextLoaderServlet is configured). I append my stacktrace so you can see it's quite the same error:

Thanks for your attention

Carlos,

As of Spring 1.1.2, certain features in the core require JDK 1.4. However, this will be fixed in the next release, 1.1.3, which is due any day now.

Hi robh,

I have noticed that you answered to both of my posts relating this error. I want to thank you for your kind attention and time.

I downloaded the 1.1.3 from the CVS (spring-framework-1.1.3-dev-build.167-20041209.zip). I tried to use it but the same exception is thrown.

Anyway, thank you again...

Carlos,

I'll look into this further. I cannot see any calls to unknown method in the code for that method but I will check further.

Rob

Regarding the NoSuchMethodError on StringBuffer: This is definitely fixed in the 1.1.3 codebase, available as snapshots for a couple of weeks now. Please double-check that you've updated all the Spring jars in your project, to avoid old spring jars interfering.

Regarding the NoSuchMethodError on AbstractResource: This is probably caused by multiple Spring jar versions lying around in your classpath. Please double-check that all your Spring jars in the classpath are from the same Spring distribution.
