java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.fileupload.servlet.ServletFileUpload.parseRequest

Question

I am handling file uploads by a multipart filter as described here. I created a WAR file and deployed on Weblogic 10.3.3 server and got error:

<Dec 8, 2011 5:37:07 PM IST> <Error> <HTTP> <BEA-101020> <[ServletContext@26087289[app:playground module:playground.war path:/playground spec-version:null]] Servlet failed with Exception
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.fileupload.servlet.ServletFileUpload.parseRequest(Lorg/apache/commons/fileupload/RequestContext;)Ljava/util/List;

    at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext$ServletInvocationAction.doIt(WebAppServletContext.java:3684)
    Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace

Then I deployed same WAR file on Tomcat 7.0.11 server and it is successfully running. How is this caused and how can I deploy successfully on Weblogic?

In the future, you should have asked a **new** question for that. — BalusC, Dec 08 '11 at 11:31

Deployment on Weblogic 10.3.3 results in an error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.fileupload.servlet.ServletFileUpload.parseRequest(Lorg/apache/commons/fileupload/RequestContext;)Ljava/util/List;

Deployment on Tomcat 7.0.11 is successful.

Weblogic already ships with Apache Commons FileUpload libraries. This error indicates that they are of an older version than which you have in /WEB-INF/lib.

You have at least 3 options:

Remove the JARs from /WEB-INF/lib.
Replace them by exactly the same version as Weblogic is using.
Change the Weblogic classloading policy to load classes from application first.

what is the correct maven dependency for this issue? – Hosein Aqajani Nov 21 '17 at 08:19 — Hosein Aqajani, Nov 21 '17 at 08:19

You can use following API to upload files to JBoss Server http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/index.html

can u direct me any code available on net for uploading large files(file size :1 GB) – user752590 Dec 02 '11 at 10:03
@user752590 You can configure maximum file size; you'll likely need to configure both commons fileupload and jboss. – Dave Newton Dec 02 '11 at 10:21

Check If your Jar Library has duplicate Jar files with Different versions. Delete the old version file.
