Type 'org/springframework/http/MediaType' (current frame, stack[1]) is not assignable to 'org/springframework/util/MimeType'

Question

I have upgraded spring from 3.2.1 to 4.0.3

and got:

"Type 'org/springframework/http/MediaType' (current frame, stack[1]) is 
 not assignable to 'org/springframework/util/MimeType'"

the full stack trace:

Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping#0': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.VerifyError: Bad type on operand stack

spring issues are hidden from my understanding, what could it be, where to start for a search?

Answer 1

I think, It is not an upgrading issue. It is occur when your application server stuck. So, you needs to delete the server and run on server.
