IncompatibleClassChangeError issues in 3.2.0.RELEASE

[Sendilkumar]

Hi,

I have developed a maven project using the spring version 3.2.0.RELEASE.

I have included only the below dependency in the pom :

<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0.RELEASE</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Please note that i have not included spring-asm dependency in my pom.xml as 3.2.0.RELEASE included asm related classes.

I have build the project with no issues and not able to deploy in tomcat 7.

Can anyone help to resolve the below exception trace :

java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: class org.springframework.core.LocalVariableTableParamet erNameDiscoverer$ParameterNameDiscoveringVisitor has interface org.springframework.asm.ClassVisitor as super class

Thanks and Regards,

Please use [ code][/code ] tags when posting code and also use the forum search as this question has been answered before.

You are mixing spring version 3.2 and earlier versions (why the exclusion those should be included).

Edit: Don't crosspost!!

[Sendilkumar]

Thanks for your suggestion.

I have removed the exclusion. I have not mixed the spring versions in the pom.

Also I have searched in the forum not able to find the solution.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

[ code][/code ] tags != < code></code > tags...

The fact that it isn't in the pom doesn't mean you don't get it, could be a transitive dependency or somewhere else on your classpath. Check the actual files/classpath instead of guessing what it might be based on your pom. Use dependency:tree or build a war and check the WEB-INF/lib to see what is in there.

[Sendilkumar]

Thanks a lot for your suggestions and it will he helped me a to resolve the issues.

Actually i converted the eclipse project into maven project. But i have forgotten to delete the existing jars WEB-INF/lib folder.

Thanks again for your valuable suggestion.
