NoSuchMethodError Thrown on Servlet Initialization [SWF-1155]

I get the following NoSuchMethodError when starting up the Tomcat container. Looking into the nightly source I see there is a call on line 419 of FrameworkServlet.java to a method that no longer exists in ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.

13:18:35 ERROR [null].[localhost].[/] - StandardWrapper.Throwable java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.web.context.ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.setId(Ljava/lang/String;)V at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.createWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:419) at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.initWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:341) at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.initServletBean(FrameworkServlet.java:307) at org.springframework.web.servlet.HttpServletBean.init(HttpServletBean.java:127) at javax.servlet.GenericServlet.init(GenericServlet.java:211) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.loadServlet(StandardWrapper.java:1172) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.load(StandardWrapper.java:992) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.loadOnStartup(StandardContext.java:4058) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4371) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1045) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:719) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1045) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:443) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded.start(Embedded.java:825)

For Spring 3.0.0.M4, I'm getting the same thing just for Spring Web MVC generally (i.e., I'm not using Spring Web Flow):

I don't get this error in Spring 3.0.0.M3.

I didn't dig into this terribly deeply, but basically ContextLoader is calling ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.setId() and for whatever reason, the instance in question implements ConfigurableWebApplicationContext but doesn't have a setId() method. (ConfigurableWebApplicationContext inherits a setId() method from ConfigurableApplicationContext.)

OK, I couldn't resist digging into this. :-)

ConfigurableApplicationContext.setId() method is new with Spring 3.0.0.M4.

i did

$ mvn dependency:list | grep '3.0.0.M3' [INFO] org.springframework:org.springframework.asm:jar:3.0.0.M3:compile [INFO] org.springframework:org.springframework.context:jar:3.0.0.M3:compile [INFO] org.springframework:org.springframework.expression:jar:3.0.0.M3:compile

It turned out that one of my dependencies was a locally installed library that was built against 3.0.0.M3. I just reinstalled it and problem was solved.

So this isn't a bug. Just user error. ;-)
