spring-data-jpa & org.springframework compatibility

I recently updated a parent pom file which our (child) projects declare. In said pom file, I updated "org.springframework" dependencies (spring-webmvc, spring-web ...) from version 4.0.7.RELEASE to 4.1.6.RELEASE.

In a child project/pom, I'm using org.springframework.data spring-data-jpa. Before the update to the parent pom file, my tests were passing. After the update, I'm seeing this error:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlReaderContext.getEnvironment()Lorg/springframework/core/env/Environment;
at org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScanBeanDefinitionParser.parse(ComponentScanBeanDefinitionParser.java:81)

at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader.doLoadBeanDefinitions(XmlBeanDefinitionReader.java:392)

I then tried to update the spring-data-jpa version from 1.7.1.RELEASE to 1.8.0.RELEASE but the error message is the same.

I have read several posts suggesting that there is a dependency/jar conflict but no explanation as to WHERE this conflict is occurring not how to resolve it. From what I can gather, its the changes in org.springframework that is causing this.

In my case following line in class org.springframework.data.repository.config.RepositoryBeanDefinitionParser:

public BeanDefinition parse(Element element, ParserContext parser) {
       XmlReaderContext readerContext = parser.getReaderContext();

       try {
           Environment e = readerContext.getEnvironment();

caused: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlReaderContext.getEnvironment().

RepositoryBeanDefinitionParser is in spring-data-commons dependency of spring-data-jpa pom.xml file:

<dependency>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-commons</artifactId>
<version>${springdata.commons}</version>
</dependency>

So, when I upgraded my org.springframework.data:spring-data-jpa dependency to higher version 1.9.2.RELEASE (while having spring-beans of 4.1.0.RELEASE), I started to get exception, because my XmlReaderContext didn't have method getEnvironment() required by RepositoryBeanDefinitionParser.parse(Element element, ParserContext parser) method.
