javax.servlet.ServletException: OncePerRequestFilter just supports HTTP requests

[amar4kintu]

Hello friends,

I am new to spring.

I am trying an example mvc-basic given in https://src.springframework.org/svn/...les/mvc-basic/

I am using eclipse 3.4.2 as my editor
JBOSS 5.1 as server

Following is my WEB-INF/lib directory

appserv-jstl.jar
hibernate-validator-4.0.2.GA.jar
javaee.jar
org.springframework.aop-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.asm-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.aspects-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.beans-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.context.support-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.context-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.core-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.expression-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.instrument.tomcat-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.instrument-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.jdbc-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.jms-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.orm-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.oxm-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.test-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.transaction-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.web.portlet-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.web.servlet-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.web.struts-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.web-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar
urlrewritefilter-3.1.0.jar
validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar

Now it compiles well with JBOSS server but when I am trying to run, it gives me following error.

[[default]] Servlet.service() for servlet default threw exception

Can any one help me in solving the problem.

Let me know if you need anything else from me.

Thanks.

Remove javaee.jar and appserv-jstl.jar from your WEB-INF/lib directory. The servlet API and jstl API jars should be used only as COMPILE time dependencies, but should never be packaged in your WAR since your container (JBoss) already has them on his classpath at runtime and if you package the jars with your application you will get double instances of your classes, which in turn will cause classloader issues like the one you are facing.

Hello Enrico Pizzi,

Thanks for the reply.

I removed javaee.jar and it start executing !!!

I have not removed appserv-jstl.jar as it is not present in jboss server libraries.

removing it gives errors in my .jsp files.

Thanks.
