Thanks Prathap

So am stuck on the same problem do you got any right solutions for it. Thanks – Truant

Answer 1

For anyone looking for the answer I got a similar error. I was using Java 8 lambda expressions and my Spring version was less than 4. It seems that there is no way that lambdas and old Springs can coexist, so the options are simple:

• Upgrade to Spring 4 or newer.
• Stop using Java 8 features such as lambda expressions.

Solved the problem for me.

Answer 2

I had exactly the same error using weblogic 12c (12.2.1.2.0). Updating to Spring 4 and adding

<prefer-application-packages>
    <package-name>org.springframework.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>

to my weblogic.xml resolved the issue.

Surfactant

Solved for me. My weblogic was using an old version of Spring classes embedded in a JAR located in the lib folder. – Hummock

Answer 3

It's seems that the issue is with a spring-asm version conflict. Verify whether multiple version of spring-asm are being fetched.

Answer 4

It certainly does tell you where the error is, and on the first line:

/com/fritolay/suppliernet/ecr/web/controller/TransportationController.class]; nested exception is java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 51

Oblivion

That's the class name only , but i don't see the line number.Suppose if my class have n no of methods.Then how can i debug where the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException occurred. – Roybal

@Roybal - If you are using Eclipse, put break point on ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException – Decorate

@Pokuri: I am not using Eclipse to deploy i directly deploy to web-logic domain folder and start the web-logic server.Moreover i don't see this exception is coming from My code and its being thrown from Spring Classes.Still Don't know why? – Roybal
