What is causing an HTTP 503 error in my GWT application?

Question

I followed this tutorial for my first project using gwt,hibernate,jpa and spring.

However, when I try to right click on the app and use Run as -> web application in Eclipse, the page return:

HTTP ERROR: 503
---
Problem accessing /GWTSpring.html. Reason:
-
SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE
-
Powered by Jetty://

This is what I got in the console:

i've already tried this solution: 503 GWT error: but it didn't work.

Any ideas as to what the problem is?

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.aopalliance.aop.Advice

is pretty much self explanatory, no? you need some "AOP Alliance" JAR in the CLASSPATH. Likely packaged with Spring downloads, or referenced from its pom.xml (if using Maven).

If you are not obliged to use AppEngine, remove it! I have tried to use spring and Hibernate with GWT but it did not work with AppEngine. The application server that will be used then, will be Jetty (the embedded server). And remove all the jars related to AppEngine from your Build Path It worked for me!

Maybe you should try to change ports in your project"s configuration.

Right Click your project --> Run as.. --> Run Configurations --> Go to Server tab and make it select an unused port.

I had the same problem but this worked for me like a charm.
