Spring Issue - NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/beans/PropertyMatches

IamtheWalrus

I have a Java app that uses Spring. I had it deployed on a test environment and it was working fine.

I then made a change to the code by updating a string and redeployed. Now I'm getting the below error.

Anyone know why? I didn't touch the spring config.

Servlet.service() for servlet [myapp] in context with path [/myapp] threw exception [Handler processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/beans/PropertyMatches] with root cause
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/beans/PropertyMatches

anytime I had problems like this with Spring, it was because either a class could not be found a runtime due to a missing dependency or there was a conflict where two versions of the same dependency are on the classpath so Spring cannot load the class

Thanks.

The resolution was that I stopped Tomcat/Apache, cleaned the tomcat/webapps and work folders and redeployed.

So far it seems to have done the trick.

Can't beat a good old restart...
