actually this exception is throwing when i use '@Transactional' annotation in service layer but not getting solution — Amit Kammar, Oct 07 '15 at 12:01
You added the `objenesis` in the wrong place. Try to put it with all the other `dependencies` instead of the plugin dependency. — Tunaki, Oct 07 '15 at 12:03

This is the Objenesis version that is embedded in Spring. So you don't need the actual Objenesis jar. Which is normally in spring-core.

In your case, I think you have an incompatibility between your spring jar. The easiest solution is probably to upgrade everything to the latest spring version.

Please make sure the jar is in the boot classpath of the server. This is usually the server's lib or endorsed directory, not your application's WEB-INF/lib directory.

See if that solves your problem.

Hope this helps!

Why would you recomment putting the library in the server's lib? This is not a good practice. – Tunaki Oct 07 '15 at 07:14
