Spring - Build path is incomplete. Cannot find class file for org/springframework/beans/factory/Aware in dispatcher-servlet.xml

Question

I installed Spring Tool Suite and am now using it for a little sample project. However I keep having an error in my dispatcher-servlet.xml file:

Build path is incomplete. Cannot find class file for org/springframework/beans/factory/Aware

This error is highlighted here:

<bean
    **class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">**
    <property name="prefix">
        <value>/WEB-INF/pages/</value>
    </property>
    <property name="suffix">
        <value>.jsp</value>
    </property>
</bean>

Any thought?

Answer 1

I think you may have some old jar files in your configuration. Try using the most current spring libraries.

Answer 2

I found my self in exactly the same case when I used incompatible maven spring-dependencies i.e check Spring Security Site on the right side where it explains what spring version should be used with what spring security version.
