Hitting NoSuchMethodError in Spring Hibernate Integration

Hello All,

I am new to Activiti with a project where I try to setup an environment which integrates Activiti, Spring and Hibernate.

The application is fine when I only register the processEngine bean, but it will hit the following error when I try to register runtimeService bean through:
<bean id="runtimeService" factory-bean="processEngine" factory-method="getRuntimeService" />‍

The error looks at the following:
07:58:05,102 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] (MSC service thread 1-2) Context initialization failed: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'processEngine': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager.determineTimeout(Lorg/springframework/transaction/TransactionDefinitionSmiley WinkI

If I remove this line, the deployment goes without error. The weird thing is when I try to access runtime service in unit tests through 
processEngineFactory.getObject().getRunTimeService()‍
, there is no problem to that, seems like I just can't register it as a spring-managed bean.

My data source looks like this:

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.TransactionAwareDataSourceProxy">

I would appreciate if anyone can help me find the cause of this problem. It's really giving me a headache.

And I just tried to access the processEngine in the web app instead of unit tests. I put a little segment of code inside controller and try to access the page in the browser which will in turn trigger the controller.

It now gives me the same error of NoSuchMethodError.

Hello All,

After spending some time this morning with the problem, I believe I have resolved the issue.

Apparently, I have an unnecessary dependency

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-support</artifactId>
      <version>2.0</version>
   </dependency>
in my POM and it caused conflict with some other packages. Essentially, the executing code was no longer following the expected path anymore.

I removed this dependency and upgraded to Activiti 5.10 and Spring 3.1.2.Final as they are perfectly compatible with each other.

Activiti 5.9 seems to be depending on Spring 3.0.3.Final and I didn't want to take chances.

This solved the issue. Thank you for your time!

Thanks for posting back the solution. I would have guessed it was a library issue, but I would have looked for it in Hibernate, not in Spring!
