Spring + Hibernate on Google Apps Engine error (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/objectweb/asm/ClassWriter)

Question

i have apps developed with netbeans using spring + spring security + hibernate and run in tomcat. i trying to move this project to Google App Engine so i decided to move it to eclipse cause i think it easier considering eclipse have plugins for GAE.

    org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'mySessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter.<init>(Z)V
    Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter.<init>(Z)V

and this is my dispatcher servlet

is there something wrong in my project? i also put that lib in my App Engine lib/impl and not working also...

ps: may be its related to Error : java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter.<init>(I)V but i still not fix my project.. Please help.. thanks in advance.

Answer 1

A java.lang.NoSuchMethodError (in your case (java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter.<init>(Z)V)) mean that the class (ClassWriter) exists, but the method (in your case: constructor with boolean argument) not.

This kind of error often occurs if there are incompatible libaries: One lib requires version x of lib B, but you have version y of lib B. And this two versions are not compatible.

If your project was running with Netbeans, but not with Eclipse then I guess you have modified the libs while moving the projects from one IDE to the other.

In your case the Class DebuggingClassWriter from cgilib-2.2.jar invoke in its constructor the constructor (with one boolean parameter) of its superclass ClassWriter from asm.jar (unfortunately you have not specified the version of the asm.jar you use). But I can tell you that for example asm-3.1.jar contains the constructor you need.

BTW: I use cglib-nodep-2.2.jar together with asm-3.1.jar, and it works
