Question

Why is below exception occuring ? Are there issues using google app engine with spring ?

My app works locally but when I deploy to online app engine I receive this error :

Error: Server Error

The server encountered an error and could not complete your request.
If the problem persists, please report your problem and mention this error message and the query that caused it.

Here is my app engine log :

Answer 1

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.web.context.support.

It seems you have wrong version of spring jars in classpath at runtime (which are not supported for the code you deployed).

Make sure you have correct version of jars.
