I trying to deploy Java EE web application on Geronimo container with Jetty web server. Unfortunately I have some troubles, I’m getting NoSuchMethod error. I saw that somebody had similar problem, and the solution was to remove redundant spring-framework library from classpath. But it doesn’t work for me, my classpath is correctly constructed. Here’s contents of WEB-INF/lib directory:
aopalliance-1.0.jar
commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
dom4j-1.6.1.jar
h2-1.3.164.jar
hibernate-commons-annotations-3.2.0.Final.jar
hibernate-core-3.6.9.Final.jar
hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar
javassist-3.12.1.GA.jar
log4j-1.2.16.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.6.4.jar
spring-aop-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-asm-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-beans-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-context-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-core-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-expression-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-hibernate3-2.0.8.jar
spring-jdbc-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-orm-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-tx-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-web-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-webmvc-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-webmvc-3.1.1.RELEASE-sources.jar
Referencing to redundant libraries trouble, is that possible that web container loads own version of spring-framework different than given in WEB-INF/lib? I thought that WEB-INF/lib directory has better priority… It’s my first project under Geronimo, but I saw that project can contain geronimo-web.xml file, maybe I should place there something referenced with library loading/dependencies?
Here’s the stacktrace:
Geronimo Application Server started
2012-02-24 20:19:17,463 WARN [JettyModuleBuilder] Web application . does not contain a WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml deployment plan. This may or may not be a problem, depending on whether you have things like resource references that need to be resolved. You can also give the deployer a separate deployment plan file on the command line.

Finally I found two possible solutions. One, more obvious, is to use Geronimo dedicated Spring library, for example Geronimo v2.1 used Spring 2.5.6. The other, more rational, is to create/edit geronimo-web.xml. For me I had to overwrite loading order, it means, WEB-INF/lib libraries have better priority to be loaded.
