Bean creation throws exception at the build time

Question

Hi all I have an exception thrown when building application to be deployed in tomcat, and I am suspecting pom.xml is the source as I found in the net that dependencies are the responsible causes for this exception, anyhow, here is my stack trace:

GRAVE: Context initialization failed

Spring 3.0.5 does not have that method. Try upgrading your spring version. There could be some incompatibilities between the libraries.

Most likely one of your jar files is calling the function which doesnt exist in the Spring 3.0.5 version that you use.

It also might be due to jar conflicts where an older jar file expects an older Spring version than 3.0.5 which isnt on your classpath too.

You can check your dependency tree through the command line to find about expected jar files as transitive dependencies by other jar files as well as to understand about conflicts.

mvn dependency:tree

Hi, I fixed the problem. I upgraded the spring version to 3.2.0 and everything work fine. I removed the dependencies from the pom.xml file and then add the CXf Apache 3.0.0 library to the class path and it worked fine it is here where I noticed that the version of spring cxf is using. so I return back to pom.xml and add the new version of spring. – Rachid Mar 13 '14 at 10:04

The latest Spring version (4.2.5) has also removed the above method.

See Unable to deploy the project in Apache tomcat with apache cxf

You have to either upgrade to Apache CXF to 3.0 or stick with an older Spring version (for example 4.1.5).
