Nested Exception is java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: org.springframework.validation.AbstractBindingResu lt: field MODEL_KEY_PREFIX not found

Make sure you don't have any old spring.jar inside websphere (maybe at server level). This error usually occurs, when some different version is found on the parent classpath and used instead of yours.

First,Thanks for your reply,but I has searched all the classpath(include those of parent classloader),there are no any older version,I doubt the jdk version lead this issue(Websphere 5 use jdk1.3 ).

I modify the code(at 345 line) in AbstractBindingResult.java

model.put(MODEL_KEY_PREFIX + getObjectName(), this);

to

model.put(BindingResult.MODEL_KEY_PREFIX + getObjectName(), this);

and rebuild the spring code and get the spring.jar,and the issue solved.

But I need official solution however,so any advice is appreciated!

Thank u for your reply again.
