NoSuchMethodError: freemarker.template.Configuration

Question

Why is this error happening? I'm using freemarker-2.3.20 and spring-webmvc-3.2.17

 Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: freemarker.template.Configuration.<init>(Lfreemarker/template/Version;)V

Thsi error appears when calling a method on an object in a library, you are most likely using separate versions of the library when compiling and running. could you post your pom.xml? — andolsi zied, Nov 17 '16 at 11:13
Our application not using pom.xml, Instead of it adding dependencies using .classpath.xml — zeji, Nov 17 '16 at 11:19

According to maven dependency, spring-webmvc-3.2.17 compiled with the version 2.3.20 of freemarker. So you you have to use this version to ommit conflicts.

Updated : link updated

It seems to me that FreeMarkerConfigurationFactory looks for a Configuration constructor with the version parameter, this has been added in the version 2.3.21 of freemarker. I think the spring version you mentioned is not good. Your are probably used a version greater than 4.1.5.RELEASE.

But this link says something else, Confused https://www.versioneye.com/java/org.springframework:spring-webmvc/3.2.17.RELEASE – zeji Nov 17 '16 at 11:32
You're right I shared a bad link – andolsi zied Nov 17 '16 at 11:36
@zeji see updated answer. – andolsi zied Nov 17 '16 at 13:33
Just use the latest stable version anyway (2.3.25-incubating at the moment). That can save time for you because of FreeMarker's improvements alone. – ddekany Nov 17 '16 at 17:28
