I am working on a Spring application on Tomcat7, JDK1.7, Maven and other components. Recently, I made a major change to the application, requiring switching over to Spring 3. After the change, I’m seeing the below exception on deploying to dev server. The application runs flawlessly on my local system though.

I don’t think there’s any issue with the said xml amadeusAce-servlet.xml as well because there there is no change in the file since last deployment.

Anything you can see from the above resources?? I’d absolutely love to hear from you.
Thank you.

EDIT:
As suggested in the below post, I found out the classpath from where dependencies are resolved. Results below:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError occur if there is some issue with the jar loaded. I think that on the system that you are trying to run this code on, has CLASSPATH set to some path which is loading the older version of the jar. Use the following code to find out the paths from where the ClassLoader is resolving the dependencies

public static void main(String[] args) {
            URLClassLoader classLoader = (URLClassLoader)Main.class.getClassLoader();
            System.out.println(Arrays.toString(classLoader.getURLs()));
    }

Put this method in Main class and execute it in the system that is giving this error. It will show you all the paths from where the dependencies have been resolved. Find out if any of the paths have older version of the jar.

Hope this helps your cause.
