I work on a 4 person development team using IntelliJ, but for some reason only one the team members can successfully build a WAR file and deploy. All other members will receive the following error:

Aug 17, 2012 2:14:31 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Aug 17, 2012 2:14:31 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start

SEVERE: Context [/xxx] startup failed due to previous errors

2012-08-17 14:14:40,171 [http-8080-1] ERROR context.ContextLoader – Context initialization failed

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext.getEnvironment()Lorg/springframework/core/env/ConfigurableEnvironm
ent;

From everything I’ve researched, this is caused by a version conflict in the Spring Framework, but for the life of me I can’t seem to resolve the issue.

Has anyone ever run into this issue? And how can I resolve it?

    Modify your catalina.sh/catalina.bat such that you launch java using the -verbose:class flag. It will produce a lot of output, but you should be able to see which JAR file you’re loading org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext from and chances are it’s not the same version that your version of Grails is using. Remove the bad version from your classpath and hopefully you’ll be good to go.
