If you are using JRE 8 then change your spring version to 4. It will work perfectly..
The probable answer to the original question shall be that switching to JRE7 from JRE8 might help. As in my case the error message Changed. So this shall be considered as an option while using Spring 3.1.0. It helped me.
To be exact, if you not using Maven (like me), I just update the:
spring-core-x.x.x.RELEASE.jar
to Version 4, then it solves my problem. The rest of other spring Jars, I leave it the same.
