java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.factory.config.AutowireC apabl

[some one]

Hello,

I have seen this post somewhere else as well and checked for duplicate jars and versions and still run into the same error everytime i deploy to tomcat.


I started getting this when i upgraded to 2.5 from 2.0.3 and removed all the module jars from 2.0.3 and replaced it with

Spring.jar (2.5)

Spring-test.jar (2.5)

Spring-aspects.jar (2.5)

Spring-bindings.jar (2.0-m1)

Spring-webmvc.jar (2.5)

Spring-webflow.jar (2.0-m1)

the complete stack trace is

ERROR [org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet] - <Context initialization failed>

Any comment would help me out.

To me, it looks like you still have an old JAR somewhere ... The AutowireCapableBeanFactory class is found, but the method signature isnt right ... So you probably have the right jar, but from the wrong version ...
