Question

Will someone please explain why I’m getting this build error, when the class is obviously there. Here’s the error –

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/aop/scope/ScopedProxyUtils

and here’s my spring-servlet.xml file –

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

    <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />

    </property>
    <property name="cacheSeconds" value="60" />
    <property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8" />
</bean>
</beans>

I also have the aop jar on my classpath-

<classpathentry kind="lib" path="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/org.springframework.aop-sources-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar"/>

Answer 1

That is the sources jar…

path=”WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/org.springframework.aop-sources-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar”

Get the binary release version.
