I was using asm 3.1 .jar previously , but at that time i was getting error
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.accept(Lorg/objectweb/asm/ClassVisitor;Z)V

So i replaced it with asm-all-2.2.3.jar. so now i am getting this error...
can anyone help me out.?? its urgent.

[Joris Kuipers]

It would help if you posted in the right forum: this one is for the dm Server, not for generic Spring apps running on WebLogic.
Are you sure there's no other exception in your log? Or a "caused by" clause?

[jenis23]

yes i am sure..
i am again giving u some errors i am getting ...

[Joris Kuipers]

Looks like an error in an aspect:
"Throwing argument name 'authExcp' was not bound in advice arguments"
Maybe some AfterThrowing advice with a wrong pointcut to bind the thrown Exception?

Also notice the line "Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace": there might be more info in the log.

i got the soultion .. it was because 2 jar files were conflicting.. thanks..

[Hameed]

Just in case anyone else gets this issue, try to find out spring jars in your class path. I had spring 3.0 and spring 2.0.2 being transtively imported via spring-json.jar.

I excluded the spring 2.0.2 and it worked.
