ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.cglib.transform.impl.MemorySafeUndeclaredThrowableStrategy after rebuilding

Question

I have this strange error when trying to run my project on Tomcat. Until a few days ago, everything was ok, and I haven't changed any line of code since then. The only thing I did before everything began to fail was "Update project..." in Maven context menu.

Solve this : nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/cglib/transform/impl/MemorySafeUndeclaredThrowableStrategy You can find this class in spring-core.jar – Lexie

The problem is that I don't know how to solve this exception. What is supposed that I have to do with this class? – Feathering

To solve your exception, you just have to add spring-core.jar in your WEB-INF/lib. What you're supposed to do with this class remains a mystery to me : I don't know what your project is ;) – Lexie

Thank you, but it doesn't solve the exception. Everything worked fine a few days ago, so even I doesn't know what's the purpose of this class. – Feathering

How is your POM.xml ? – Lexie

Hi, finally solved. There was an error in the POM file. Wrong Spring version in dependencies. – Feathering

Answer 1

The following class that cannot be found:

org/springframework/cglib/transform/impl/MemorySafeUndeclaredThrowableStrategy

It was added to spring-core 3.2.4 and is not yet present in spring-core 3.2.3.

Make sure you do not accedently include an old version of spring core in your project while using newer versions of other spring-* libraries.

Hi, as I stated above, that was the problem, wrong spring version. Thanks for your time. – Feathering

For maven users, the answer to this question will help maven sort things out with regards to the spring security and framework versions being different. – Cupriferous

Answer 2

I had the same exception, and in my case it was spring-security 3.2.5.RELEASE including spring-aop 3.2.8.RELEASE, which didn't work with spring 4.1.4.RELEASE and cglib 3.1.

To solve the problem I've just included spring-aop directly to force the version I wanted, adding to my pom, the following:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
        <version>${spring.version}</version>
    </dependency>

In my case, I've the property spring.version set to 4.1.4.RELEASE.

After rebuilding it all worked since the new version doesn't require MemorySafeUndeclaredThrowableStrategy any more.

Answer 3

Everything worked fine a few days ago

That sounds familiar. Have you added a new dependency that also has spring-core.jar included? If so, exclude this spring-core dependency in your pom.xml from the newly added dependency.

Answer 4

Resolution to this problem would depend on your pom.xml and what Spring library it has. Some rejig of the spring jars including and excluding Spring jars in maven will resolve this.

I added the following to resolve the mongo-db spring-data jar related issue.

    <properties>
            <spring.version>3.2.4.RELEASE</spring.version>
            <spring.data.version>1.6.1.RELEASE</spring.data.version>
            <spring.core.version>4.1.4.RELEASE</spring.core.version>
        </properties>
