The spring configuration is as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" 
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

 http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.2.xsd">

    <context:annotation-config/>
    <context:component-scan base-package="com.test"/>
</beans>

I am unable to know how to resolve this issue. Please let me know any jar needs to be added to resolve this issue.

I was shading my self-contained jar to save space, and after upgrading to spring-context 4.3.4 (spring-context is dependent of spring-aop) from 3.2.6, I started having this problem. So what I had to do was to add it as a include-filter configuration in my maven-shade-plugin.

nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/aop/TargetSource

can't you see this error message?

you need org.springframework.aop package

add your spring-aop-x.x.x.jar to solve the problem.

@Horizon_Net, I was also able to resolve the issue by adding spring-aop-4.3.3.jar to my spring library folder. Thanks @keshav-pradeep-ramanath!
