Maybe the same as this? stackoverflow.com/questions/10556201/… — Nuno Linhares, Commented Nov 26, 2018 at 21:34

You can see in your stacktrace that the root cause of your error is this

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.web.context.ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.getEnvironment

This means that your web application is trying to call this method, but the spring framework jars that are loaded in the webapp don't contain this function, hence the error. This could happen if your project contains several different projects, which use different versions of spring. This could explain why the code builds but doesn't execute.

I would check if there are no more references to spring 3.1.4.

If you are using maven, you could run this command :

mvn dependency:tree

This would give you an overview of which libraries depend on which other libraries. This way, you can see where you would need to update the old references to spring.

thanks @Harald - I executed mvn dependency : tree and resolve. it's looking good to me. The reference is spring 4.3.0. Please find the attachment of tree.log and resolve.log tree.log: filedropper.com/tree_8 resolve.log: filedropper.com/resolve_1 — Jayakumar Devaraj, Commented Nov 27, 2018 at 16:16
