POClass Conflict when starting up Java project: ClassMetadataReadingVisitor has interface org.springframework.asm.ClassVisitor as super class
text
Body
copied!<p>I am developing a Java web project using the latest Spring framework version (3.2.2-RELEASE), but now I have a problem when the project is started up. The detail error is </p> <blockquote> <p>java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError:<br> class org.springframework.core.type.classreading.ClassMetadataReadingVisitor has interface org.springframework.asm.ClassVisitor as super class.</p> </blockquote> <p>I have researched this problem on Internet and this site also, and got some clues. I have removed the asm and spring-asm libraries out of my project, but it did not work. I see that there are another ClassVisitor interface which is defined in rt.jar of default JRE. Is this the reason cause this conflict? </p> <p>But I do recognized that:</p> <pre><code>class ClassMetadataReadingVisitor extends ClassVisitor implements ClassMetadata { private String className; .... } </code></pre> <p><code>ClassMetadataReadingVisitor</code> refers to <code>class org.springframework.asm.ClassVisitor</code> (already available in spring-core package), so how can it conflict with the interface <code>com.sun.xml.internal.ws.org.objectweb.asm.ClassVisitor</code> of JRE? I don't know how can this happen? </p> <p>Here is full stack-strace:</p> <pre><code>[ERROR 13:49:39] (ContextLoader:319) - Context initialization failed
