So essentially I am getting a exception when I load up my war in my glassfish application server. I am using Spring's transaction manager with my mysql database. The error reported (full stack trace) is as follows:
java.lang.Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.transaction.annotation.AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource#0': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.core.annotation.AnnotationUtils.getAnnotation(Ljava/lang/reflect/AnnotatedElement;Ljava/lang/Class;)Ljava/lang/annotation/Annotation;
My applicationContext.xml file is as follows:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

I find this error to be pretty cryptic because the class it is whining about is not even in my application Context. I am using Spring 3.1 by the way. Thanks for any suggestions or help.
