Error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org/springframework/asm/ClassVisitor.<init>(I)V

Question

I have these two dependencies in my POM which are i think creating this issue but i have tried many different ways and updated versions but nothing worked for me. Can someone please help. POM.XML

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
        <version>4.2.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

     <dependency>
        <groupId>cglib</groupId>
        <artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
        <version>2.2</version>
    </dependency>      

Answer 1

Solution to your Question

1. It seems there is a JAR conflict while managing your dependencies.
2. In Spring 4.2.0, the ClassVisitor class have been included in Spring-core-4.2.0.RELEASE.jar, Please find the below image. Hence there is no need to include spring-asm-3.1.3.RELEASE.jar which I have found in your dependencies.
3. It is always recommended to use Bill of Materials when you are using Spring 3.2.X and above versions.
4. Please remove the CGLIB Proxy from dependency, as it is no longer needed when you are using Spring 3.2.X version and above. Please refer the spring-framework documentation for this.

5. Finally your POM should be like this below. Humbly requesting you to ignore the hibernate and slf4j dependencies.
